Hotel Carpet: Emergency Stain Removal

This post is sponsored by Spot Shot® Instant Carpet Stain Remover. All opinions are my own.

As many of you know, we are currently living in a hotel in Stuttgart, Germany, while we look for a house or apartment. It’s been just over a full month since we checked in, if you can believe it. I was initially dreading this time of living in limbo, but it has turned into a nice chance to get accustomed to our host country while all of our basic needs are being well provided for.

Our rooms are great; however, when we checked in, there were two mysterious stains on our carpet, both about the size of a quarter.

I completely forgot to mention the spots to the hotel staff, and since our cat is with us, I was a little concerned that they would think she was the source.

(For those of you who are wondering about Harley, he’s still stuck in the US as Frankfurt has closed the airport to pets until the end of the month. We are so thankful for our good friends who have hosted him for a month longer than any of us expected!)

Back to the spots. I decided just to take care of them myself and then there wouldn’t be a problem. As you all know, I am completely brand loyal to Spot Shot® Instant Carpet Stain Remover. Even without knowing exactly what these stains were or how long they’d been there, I knew that Spot Shot would be able to take care of them.

By the way, you can pack aerosols in your checked baggage in reasonable quantities. So yes, I packed my Spot Shot, along with my hair spray and dry shampoo!

Just shake the can, spray on the stain, let the foam soak in for five minutes, and blot with a white cloth or towel. Repeat as needed until the spot is gone.

To be honest, these were the toughest spots I’ve ever removed; it probably took seven or eight applications to get them completely out. I still have no idea whatsoever what those stains were, but they wanted to stay put! Spot Shot won eventually, though; it almost always does.
