Ok, I admit, it’s pretty sad that something as minor as finding a product that removes stains from carpet gets me this excited! But it’s TRUE!
I have four dogs and three teen boys – so you can imagine the beating my carpet takes.
After exploring the different uses of 20 Mule Team Borax recently, I decided to try it out on the spots on my carpet. Or have my son do the work rather. I was looking for a creative punishment that day and it just seemed fitting.
I wish I had taken before and after photos, but that would mean my having to show you just how dirty my carpet was looking. Having the battled the flood on top of the four dogs and three boys – let’s just say you’re going to have to take my word for it.
We mixed up the Borax and warm water into a paste and with sponge in hand, my son hit each individual spot rubbing the mixture in. We then let the spots dry completely and vacuumed the spots right up.
The spots were gone and left in their stead was a delightful clean smell where horrible musty smells had once loomed.

Wowzas! Thank you so much for this! We entertain often at our small apartment and our carpet is full of spill stains…I can’t wait to try this out!
Thanks!
Yeah Borax is a great abrasive and it’s absorbant. It works on carpet and can replace Comet in your home. Great post Gayla!
