Ammonia removes many stains from carpet.

  1. Mix 1 liter of water with 4 tbsp. of household ammonia, 1 tsp. of liquid dish detergent and 1 tbsp. of oxygen bleach. Oxygen bleach is not chlorinated, so it is safe to combine with ammonia. The ammonia will release the stain, the dish detergent will foam, lifting oil and grease, and the bleach will lighten the stain.

  2. Use a whisk to stir the mixture until frothy. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Spray the cleaner on stains and traffic areas, and agitate with the scrub brush. Blot the stain with a clean white towel. Repeat the process if the towel still brings up color from the stain.

  3. Use the solution in your carpet cleaner tank. The cleaner will remove discolored spots and brighten the carpet. The ammonia smell will dissipate, leaving the carpet fresh and clean.
