Professional CleanerYou should not apply any heat to the carpet in an effort to help it dry faster. You can blot up some of the moisture with a towel - but otherwise will just need to let the carpet air dry. -
QuestionWhat if the vinegar smell persists on carpet after drying?
Community AnswerJust wait. Vinegar evaporates like alcohol, and the smell will soon follow. -
QuestionWhat if the water stain is old and hardened?
Community AnswerAlso, test a small area of the carpet first for color change, and then try the vinegar-and-water method to try hydrating the spot. If doing this several times doesn't work, try a professional carpet cleaner. -
QuestionCan vinegar-and-water remove other stains?
Community AnswerYes. You can try this method on other carpet stains, like wine. It's a great natural cleaner that can also be used on windows and shower heads. -
QuestionHow do I clean carpet with dried-in rusty water stains?
