3. While rubbing you will see how the stain slowly vanish and cling to the sponge.


4. If the diluted vinegar doesn't work, mix 5 teaspoons of Borax, � cup of white vinegar and 5 teaspoons of salt into a bowl.


5. Stir the ingredients until a pasty consistency is formed, then spread the paste over the stain on your carpet using your fingers and leave it for overnight.
