My big tea stain

My son spilled tea on my carpet and forgot to mention it , I didn't notice until the next day and hence I spent the whole day with my carpet cleaner trying to get it out. When I got up the next morning the stain was three times the size!

I was so upset and spent another day, this time on my hands and knees trying to get it out. by the next day it was even bigger and truly smelled horrendous . i didn't realize that scrubbing a stain like tea will only make it worse. You should just apply a solution like vanish or something similar leave to soak then blot it.

while my stain is still there it is gradually going and working to get the smell out , i have been putting bicarb soda on it overnight which draws some of the smell out . this carpet and its stain and smell has taken ova my life .xx
