If the festivities over the past weekend left your carpet or rugs with some spots and stains, try mixing 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with 3 tablespoons of water in a spray bottle. Spritz the area and cover with a damp cloth. Next, set your iron to steam and heat the area for 30 seconds. The vinegar will break down the grime while the steam forces the stain molecules out of the carpet fibers. Always spot-test first!
