How To Remove Grease From Carpet

Have you ever wondered how to get grease spots out of a carpet.  I ran across this tip from a contributor on the "TipKing" website:

"Rug grease spots.  You cannot hide them with your furniture! Especially, if they are in the center of your living room. I tried many professional products. Nothing worked. I had two very obvious grease stains on my WHITE carpet. When they got darker and darker from dampness, I was jsut about to buy new carpet.

DON'T DO IT UNTIL YOU TRY THIS! I had nothing to lose-try it on a small area 1st. Isopropryl (rubbing alcohol) poured directly onto the area...or sprayed onto it. Let it sit only for a few minutes. Then, take a dampened sponge with a scouring pad side amd rub firmly against the carpet's grain. I now do not have stains and do not need to buy new carpet".

The TipKing website is full of useful tips on nearly every imaginable subject.  Check it out when you get the chance.   In the meantime, I'll useful tips for around the house and yard from time to time.
