Just in case you were ever wondering....

So here's some completely random, but could be helpful info.

Caleb and I make some pretty frequent appearances at Starbucks on Saturday mornings.

Last Saturday Caleb left his drink unattended for a half a second and Arya took it upon herself to dump the entire cup....all over our beige carpet.  We tried carpet stain remover which took out a little bit and then we tried detergent and that took out a little bit, but we were still left with a pretty massive stain.  So I did some googling and found this method.

Mix together water and baking soda into a what should resemble toothpaste.  Spread that entirely over the stain, making sure you press it into the carpet and into the stain.  Some people say to use a toothbrush, I just used a spatula.  Leave it to dry (ours ended up taking overnight to fully dry.)  After it's dried, vacuum up all the powder and the stain should be gone.

It worked perfectly on our stain, and we've since used it on some chocolate stains on the carpet...kids are so messy!  It has taken the stain out completely each time.

So in case you're ever wondering how to get some stains out, this may do the trick for you.
