The 20 year old carpet stain has finally gone

Have been tormented by a big ugly brown gloopy stain on the bedroom floor left by the previous owners. Today cos I'm feeling super domesticated (for a change) thought I would tackle said stain.
Boiling hot water plus fairy liquid and oxy stain remover, a light scrub and it's gone. Has worked on all other stubborn carpet stains too! I'm flabbergasted, I need to patent this !

Thanks for this! I wonder if I could dilute some and use it in the carpet shampoo machine.

When you pour it on it's like whipped cream so probably, as you say, best to dilute it.

I had a similar stain that I tried everything to get rid off. Then my daughter was sick in the exact spot, when I cleaned it up the stain had gone.....Grin

Not that I would recommend that Wink

Do you mean the oxy plus is like whipped cream? Or when its mixed with wshing up liquid?

When it's mixed - the hot water, Fairy liquid and the Oxy powder.

Scrub with what tool? 🤔

Might try this , I was looking for a spot cleaner for the carpet ( old but biscuit/beige colour ) our two lovely cats like to hurl up grass spit which does stain but anything I use has to be safe on their paws .

I have Astonish Powder
I have a Waitrose washing up liquid
And gloves .

I guess mix to a foam and rub into the stains ?
