Whether you’ve spilt Calpol in a zombie-like state in the middle of the night, or your little one has spat back 5mls of what they deem to be poison, a medicine spill on the carpet is not what you need.
Cough syrups, liquid antibiotics, and pain relief for kids are usually a sticky consistency that clings onto carpet fibres and can seem tricky to remove. Carpets made from natural fibres such as wool will absorb the stain further, whereas synthetic carpets keep the stain afloat making it easier to remove.
How to clean up after a medicine spill on carpet
- Scrape off excess medicine with a blunt knife or spoon.
- Mix one tablespoon of vinegar and one tablespoon of washing up liquid, to two cups of warm water.
- Use a clean cloth to sponge (not rub) the stain with the solution, until it has completely gone. Be sure to work inwards so as not to spread the stain.
- Rinse the area with cold water to remove any vinegar/ soapy residue.
- Use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot up any excess liquid.
