Winter in Park City, Heber and Utah in general is a glorious time. The mountains entice all with their glittering snow-frosted vistas to come out and play. But while the snow and ice look like a fairytale, come winter your carpets start telling a different story. Tracked in snow, mud, salt and pet hair wreak havoc under your feet. 

So what to do? This week we’ll show you how to deal with the pesky mud stains of winter…..and keep your carpets plush and plump and pleasing.

Mud is never beautiful. Except possibly when they use it to make those fancy mud t-shirts in Hawaii. Here’s our simple, 5-step process for removing mud stains from your carpets.

1. Gently vacuum up any dry surface mud with the hose of a vacuum, as to not grind it into the carpet.

2. Sprinkle baking soda, cornstarch, baby powder or other absorbent onto the stain and let stand at least an hour before vacuuming again

3. Apply a dry-cleaning solvent, such as rubbing alcohol, acetone, mineral spirits or a commercial cleaner to the back of a clean cloth and blot gently, working from the edges of the stain to the center until stain disappears

4. Blot the carpet with a dry sponge or cloth until the liquid is absorbed,

5. Make sure the area is well ventilated until the carpet is fully dry
