Todays Tip: Sometimes Fido makes a whoopsie on the carpet, here is how to clean it up like a pro. First, soak up excess moisture with a white rag or paper towels.

  • Blot on a solution of 1/4 tsp. mild liquid laundry detergent and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) warm water. Repeat until there is no more stain transferring to a towel or rag.
  • Blot with a solution of 2 tbsp. ammonia and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) water. Rinse with warm water. Repeat. Blot dry.
  • Blot the area with a solution of 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) white vinegar and 2 cups (16 fl oz/500 ml) water. Rinse.
  • Cover with several layers of paper towels weighed down with a heavy, nonfading object. Continue changing paper towels until the carpet is dry.
