Hydrogen Peroxide 

• Pour the hydrogen peroxide onto the stained area and use a cotton ball or paper towel to gently blot the stains and make sure that it’s spread evenly. 
• Cover the area with a towel for around half an hour before drying the carpet and removing the stain. 

Vinegar and Baking Soda

• Apply white vinegar to the dry-erase marker stain and blot it with a clean rag. 
• Next, add the baking soda to the marker stains and use a toothbrush to gently rub it in. 
• After leaving it to soak for two hours, use a damp towel with cold water to pat the area. You can then use a vacuum cleaner on the spot. 

Carpet Cleaner
