Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Anybody know how to get spit-up stains out of the carpet?

Four months with the queen of spit-up has really done a number on our carpet.  There are like visible splatters everywhere that are seemingly impossible to get out.  She just christened the living room for the third time today a few minutes ago.  Oi vey.

Anyone know of any magic potions we can try?  We have natural wool carpet if that helps.

  • oxy-clean makes a great stain remover, it's in a gray spray bottle in the pet aisle...it's usually for pet stains but works great for everything! you just spray it, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then blot it out with a clean dry towel.

  • Resolve has a good?carpet?cleaner also. Layla has wrecked havoc on our?carpets. Thank God they are older and need replaced anyways!?
  • We use a little green clean machine right away if we can. If not, I use BioKleen BacOut. It has natural enzymes in it, so it gets out organic stains really well.

  • FYI about oxiclean:  DH used to own a carpet cleaning business and he says never use it on your carpet.  It will react with the chemicals they use to professionally clean them and leave spots later.  We use a little bottle of something he concocted himself so I'm no help, but I wanted to warn you.

  • ZEP cleaner. Works wonders on old dog pee stains and baby spit up. We got it from DH's father who works in a auto repair shop. That's what they use to get oil stains out. We get it at Home Depot.

  • if you pee on it it'll at least make the spit-up stains less noticable
