So are you wondering how to save your carpet from staining after a nasty spill? I have a wonderful and simple way to do just that, without much time or expense! Here is how it works, and I promise it is very simple! All you are going to need is a few simple items, that you can find in any average home. The items needed are as follows along with the order and way to use each item. You will need some ordinary table salt, a spoon, and your trusty old vacuum! Sounds really simple right? Well it is, and here is how you will use these simple items! 

After a spill, you take your ordinary table salt, and you pour it over the entire spill while it is still wet, and about a half inch outside the spill to make sure you get the entire spill up. You dont want to leave any liquid behind accidentally, to come out later do you? No I didn't think so! You will now continue to add salt, until you can no longer see the salt absorbing the liquid. Once you see that the salt is no longer absorbing liquid, you will now take your spoon, and you begin to scrape the complete area that you poured the salt on. If you notice some left behind moisture, you may add more salt, but only should you still need to absorb more liquid. There is no since in using all your salt, so only add more if you still are noticing moisture, after all, you may need some salt for dinner later! After scraping for about 1-5 min, depending on the size of the spill, you should be noticing some results. You should now notice the spill and stain gone, leaving behind only some granuals of the table salt. 

Takeaways
  • pour the salt on the spill, and continue this until you no longer see the salt absorbing the liquid.
  • Now scrape the area with your spoon, and if needed, add more salt.
  • Now you should notice the spill is gone, now vacuum up the salt and the spill is gone!
Did You Know?
Salt is a natural absorber of liquid! That is how this stain preventer works.

Mother replying. I've had my beautiful carpet for years and always looked after it to perfection and then delightful daughter spills the red wine, ok so we all have accidents but to pour salt over it immediately did not work for us. I now have one very ruined carpet and still 5 days later trying to remove the stains, haven't been out all week just left cleaning!!!! My rememdy has always been soak up with a clean cloth if necessary a little washing up liquid on a wet cloth and that has always worked on every stain imaginable.

Yes i agree this is a very trusty method!!! However...you have to be sure your mother doesnt rub in the salt when she wakes from a coma, before you have the chance to finish the process!
