How do you remove red grenadine from carpet?

Someone spilled red grenadine on my carpet and it has been there overnight. Resolve carpet remover has not worked. How do I get it out?|||I have had pretty good luck using Oxyclean on food stains, it even gets red wine out. Just follow the directions for mixing with water and make sure it's dissolved or the undissolved bits will leave light spots.|||What color is the carpet?? Anything red is going to be hard to get out of anything. I have used this stuff called la's totally awesome, prolly get it at the dollar store. It works on a lot of things.|||i had red kool-aid in my carpet once and i used rubbing alcohol put some on a cloth and dab it don't rub it and it should come right out mine did best of luck|||You will probably have problems with this.. but attempt if you can the principles shown below:(or any part of it)





The best way to always treat any kind of stain is to catch it immediately so it doesn't had time to make a permenant stain.





Soak the spot first in cold water. Just leave it in the basin for several hours if needed. Do not use warm or hot water when dealing with any kind of stain. Heat will set the stain.





If the cold water alone does not remove the blood, then add about 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide to the cold water and let that set. Test a small area on the comfortor first. Peroxide is a bleach and can cause some discoloring. You may need to add more peroxide if necessary.





Finally empty the sink and refill with 1/3 cup vinegar and cold water. The vinegar will rinse all the peroxide out. Do not dry the comforter in the dryer. If all the blood has not been removed (you may have some hiding in the pile) it will pull the blood to the surface and set the stain.|||try resolve

How can i get rid of little red bumps?

I used Veet hair remover on my legs and now i have all little red bumps on my leg.I tried putting lotion on it but it didnt help. What can i do to get rid of these bumps?|||I would just suggest you not use the veet stuff anymore. You seem to be having a bad reaction. Itll go away but try something else.

I just used sally hansen creme hair remover on my legs and now i have red bumps all over my legs?

i just used it on my shins and it got theses red bumps that itch and burn really bad what r they and how do i make them go away???|||You either have sensitive skin or are allergic to that creme. I'd go to the drugstore and ask for a creme for contact allergies. Keep an eye on that rash and if it doesn't decrease in the next days you should think of having it checked, and of course don't use that creme again!|||you're allergic to ingredients in the creme.

Wash a white linen with a large red stain or not?

I have a large doily that I put over my dresser and it was a pretty large deep red marker stain. I put stain remover on it, but should I wash it in the washing machine or will my doily come out pink?|||As you have already put stain remover on it give it a rinse with luke warm water and washing up liquid. If the doily is white then you could bleach it as long as its not nylon.|||I would try washing it by hand with shampoo


and put in sun to dry|||I *strongly* recommend trying the "Resolve Carpet Crystals" first. This is a crumbly, damp powder which is sort of magic about removing marker stains without damaging carpet. This will probably work for your doily to get the marker color down to a pinkish color without spreading the pink over the entire doily.





As for getting out ALL of the stain, it depends on the type of marker. 3M Magic Eraser also is good, but is hard to use on anything but smooth surfaces.





Some dry cleaning companies may be able to help. If the marker is oil based, then dry cleaning solution can sometimes get the stain out.





All things considered, it's likely you'll end up having to stain the entire doily, then clean it with resolve, and just enjoy having a pink doily.





Good luck!

How do I lighten dyed red hair?

I dyed my hair red 2 months ago and it's gone really, really dark. I would like it to go a more amber/ginger/orangey colour. If I apply a mild blonde hair dye to it, will it lighten it to the colour I want or would it actually go blonde?





(My natural hair colour is light brown, but I have been dying my hair over already dyed hair for years.)


(I used a colour remover before I applied the red dye.)|||just strip your hair and die it the color you want its the fastest way|||I know it sounds silly and revolting but washing your hair in ketchup works wonders, i dyed my hair red and the school rules were that it needed to be natural coloured and it came out too red. you don't need to leave it in too long otherwise it will completely wash out all the dye in your hair, if you have middle length hair then 2-3 minutes will do fine, just judge yourself how much more or less you need for your hair length. It's rather daunting but trust me i did it to my own hair x


just make sure you wash your hair with shampoo after too! otherwise people will be trying to sip chips in your hair ;) xx|||Go to professionals and let them fix it..

How can I remove red nail polish stains from around my cuticles?

I have really nice gel nails on with a high quality red polish. Some of it stained my cuticles and using remover only smudges it more. Are there any tricks to remove the polish from my skin and not my nails?|||they have pens that have a tip filled with nail polish remover that you squirt out so you dont accidentally ruin your whole nail. maybe lemon juice that takes a lot of stains away|||cut off your finger tips

Embarrassing!!i used a hair remover cream on my upper lip now its all red?!?

and sore and i have work tomorrow night (its 9pm now)


will it be gone by then?? how do i make the redness go super fast?|||Ice is good but I think the best of all is cool tea, but try to make it with plants from the drugstore. If you go there buy some marigold cream because it will heal your skin. If you are still red cover your redness by applying : moisturizer, an easy foundation and on top of that some concealer. Do NOT apply any powder because your skin will not heal. For more tips and tricks visit my channel :http://www.youtube.com/user/debistar10|||ummm try ice|||I would buy some aloe vera, I don't know where lol, but aloe vera soothes the skin and sunburns and things like that so i think it might help with this. You should try it ! I use it on my sunburns all the time and it heals it super duper fast ! Gets the redness away too :]|||Put ice cubes on them, or something frozen in the freezer.


Then if it's still red tomorrow morning, try covering it up with a bit of concealer or foundation... your choice. If it's still sore, go to the chemist, and ask for a cream to treat it.|||Mine does that, but the more you do it the skin gets used to it, smooth on a cool skin cream or gel that helps, I'm sure it will be gone by the morning.|||Go to sephora and get this little green foundation stick green foundation hides redness's trust me it will work i got hit in cheer-leading above the lip and the bruise was super red and with the green foundation you couldn't even see it :)
