[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 526063, member: 1233"] Colorsafe bleaches like clorox 2 and oxiclean are both peroxide based. You can use a bit of peroxide and baking soda to make a very effective carpet cleaner. If it is a pet stain, get a bottle of kids and pets - it is an enzymatic cleaner and works very well. TO get the smell of a pet stain out you should use a needle like for basting a turkey (called a flavor injector around here - used for deep fried turkey mostly) and inject the cleaner UNDER the carpet into the pad every 3-4 inches in a grid. Let dry - will smell worse at first and then go away. If you want colorsafe bleach for clothes that is AFFORDABLE and works just like clorox 2, put 1 c peroxide in a 32 oz bottle and fill with water. IT won't be the color of clorox 2 and will be a thinner liquid, but 1/4 to 1/2 c in laundry works great. Plus is it soooooooo much cheaper than clorox 2 or other color safe bleaches. Whatever you do, put the towel or many layers of paper towels on the wet stain and put something heavy like a heavy book or container on it and let that sit and it will help get the dirt out.
