For several years now, I have been buying hydrogen peroxide by the bottle. When I get a stain on clothing, I lay the clothing on the counter, pour peroxide on the stain, rub in, and after a few hours wash as usual. The stain comes right out. The only thing I don't put hydrogen peroxide on is pure silk clothing. I have used it on suede shoes. Apply hydrogen peroxide, rub with a brush several times, and let air dry. You might have to do this a few times because shoes get really dirty, but it makes mine look new again. Hydrogen peroxide works for wine, blood, and can be used on your carpets too! Let me know what you think.

All you need is peroxide and a Q-tip. Pour a little peroxide into the cap and dip the Q-tip in it so it's saturated then dab it onto the stain you are trying to get out! This works on anything, even dried up blood. It will not take the color out of the fabric that you are using it on!

A short cut and very inexpensive tip for cleaning stains on a carpet is to get a bottle of peroxide at Walmart or any other store and put a spray nozzle on it.
Since I intend to use hydrogen peroxide as a stain remover, what is the strength of the peroxide I should use?
