  • Bi carb of soda. Sprinkle on stain, rub in with warm water, leave to dry and vacuum up. Repeat for more stubborn stains. And test carpet colour fastness in a inconspicuous place first


  • yeah i hate having carpet and children


  • bicarb soda rubbed in left to dry and vaccumed off works wonders


  • Cordial stains are horrid! Try bicarb and vinegar and rinse rinse rinse!


  • I personally don’t think anything will get red cordial out. not even a professional


  • How did it go Hope you were able to get one


  • This might sound odd but I was told buggies whipes remove stain from carpet. And it actually worked. I got onto it straight away. Not sure if it will work if the stain has been left for a bit. But worth a try


  • I’ve not bought any commercial products, I’ve always found that a paste of bicarb, vinegar and peroxide works for me. Though it could take the colour out of brightly coloured carpet.


  • I too have tried a number of different products without success! I have found the best method is to actually get to the stain with some warm soapy water or a baby wipe before it has a chance to dry…
    If not a good steam clean once in a while can do wonders :)


  • Thanks for all the useful information It will help when I am facing the same suituation


  • did you have to replace the carpet?


  • I wonder how you went with getting the stain out?


  • Vinegar works amazingly!


  • That’s huggies not buggies


  • I was told buggies whipes get any stain out. Worked for me


  • just interested to see what remedy worked??


  • Preen carpet spray is good swell.


  • On face book there is a blog that said to remove stains from your carpet you can iron them out.


  • I no longer have carpet in my home but the carpet cleaner I used to get in warned me off the store bought carpet cleaners saying they can do more harm than good, and can set the stain in the carpet making it harder to remove. I’m not sure how true it is, but i had tried store bought carpet cleaners before calling him and none of them worked, I felt I just wasted my money on them.


  • I used OzKleen Carpet Power and found it worked brilliantly to remove texta stains from the carpet that was here before we moved in. It is safe for wool carpets and enviro friendly
