How to remove mud from a carpet or upholstery

First brush or scrape away as much of the mud as possible. The remaining stain is best approached with a pre-treatment of 1/4 teaspoon dishwashing detergent in 125ml water applied directly to the fabric or carpet.

Do not rub the fabric together, but pat the treated fabric with the back of a spoon. Wash affected area throroughly. If the stain remains, a paste made with a powdered laundry detergent and a little water should be added directly to it. After leaving the paste for a few minutes, the area should again be washed throroughly.

Always make sure that any chemicals used to treat a stain are thoroughly rinsed out before trying the next stage. Combining chemicals can reduce efficiency and produce toxic compounds.
