How Do I Remove Dark Stains on a Bathroom Floor From a Wet Carpet?
- 1). Remove the carpet from the bathroom. Prop the carpet up on two sawhorses so it can dry thoroughly.
- 2). Fill a clean bottle with equal parts bleach and water. Swirl the bottle gently in a circular motion to mix the contents together. Alternatively, fill the spray bottle with undiluted white vinegar.
- 3). Spray the tile grout with the bleach-water mixture. Scrub the grout with a scrub brush or toothbrush. Wipe the grout clean with a damp rag.
- 4). Apply the bleach-water mixture to the dark stains. Allow the mixture to sit on the stains for several minutes. Apply more of the mixture to the stains and scrub with a clean sponge. Continue in this manner until you have removed all dark stains from the floor.
- 5). Wipe the floor clean with a damp cloth and towel dry.
