I'm embarrassed to show you this, but it's a must

A couple weeks ago I saw a pin on Pinterest (If you haven't checked it out yet, you should! its awesome, but addicting) on a miracle carpet stain remover.

For those of you that know, our carpet has a couple of nice big stains. I had just tried to not think or notice them too much, thinking "eventually we'll get a new carpet, so I'll ignore the stains and hope no one notices them (Yeah, right!)". Anyway, so I saw this pin that was super easy, and seemed too good to be true, but I figured I would only really need to buy two things, versus about a million random ingredients to mix together for other "miracle" carpet stain removers.

Excuse the terrible photos, I haven't exactly mastered Mitch's big ol' special professional camera.
Here is the horribly embarrassing part: 

The Before

Yikes! Those were the stains that I put our coffee table over. haha.

 And..

Here is The After!  

 That's right folks, that is the exact same spot on my carpet as the first photo! Amazing, right?!

Here's what you need:

• Water
• Ammonia
• spray bottle
• towel
• a clothes iron

In the spray bottle, do a 50/50 mix of hot water (the hottest your tap will go worked fine for me), and ammonia. I found a jug of it at my local dollar store. (gotta love dollar stores!) 

After making your bottle, get your iron and towel. 

Then pick your stain and spray away. I just about soaked my stains, and then put down the towel and then ironed away right at the spot. Immediately the stains started lifting. I did go over the stains a couple of times, to make sure it was totally gone. 

Here is what my towel looked like after I was all done

 Pretty crazy right?

I thought it was pretty fun too, seeing the stains lift up so quickly and effectively. I had ALMOST wished I had more stains to take out, I loved the immediate gratification. I am so happy that I won't cringe when my coffee table is moved and we have company over, as well as hoping they don't notice the other stains in the living room.
