Spot cleaning carpet
We just got new carpet and I'm trying to be proactive and have a plan on how to clean any spills (or other accidents that will occur after baby is here). What products do you have on hand for carpet stains? What do you do when you spill something? Are there different things to do or use for different types of stains?
TIA for your help! The carpet we had before was so nasty that we didn't really try if we spilled or dropped something.

I live by Spot Shot!!! Costco sells it in 4 packs too which help with 3 dogs and a cat. I think I would have a heart attack if they went out of business.
I use vinegar and water in a spray bottle and then blot up- it works wonders, plus it's safe for my 19 month old to be around. I just use 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 water in a spray bottle.

Never heard of Spot Shot. Do you know if grocery stores has it? We do not have a Costo here.
I have two cats and a dog, and well, they all get sick at times, and I can't get the stains out.
I have seen them at Lowes as well but it's a smaller single can and a little pricey. Sam's Club sells it as well, or you can buy online. But the online price IMO isn't worth it. I would look at any wholesale warehouses first.
I get the bottle version of spot shot at walmart

Something that we have now and cleans up just about anything is the Bissel Little Green. It's a little more expensive than a spray, but it seriously works and it's easy! It's just a mini carpet cleaner. We leave the solution in the little green and then when one of the pets has an issue of some sort, we just pill it out and clean it and within a couple minutes, it's gone!
