Water stains can come from a variety of sources. Perhaps you spilt a liquid on your carpet or maybe you had some kind of a water leak. Make sure that you first determine the source of the water leak to make sure this problem does not occur again. After you have determined and remedied the source of the water stain you can remove it.

First you need to remove any soil from the stain. To do this you will use a solution of 1 teaspoon water to 2 cups of water. Using a clean dry white cloth you will dab the spot until no more soil transfers to the rag. Work from the outside to the inside so as not to spread the soil and do not rub the spot as this could wear the carpet fibers.

Now that you have completed step one you can work on reversing the browning that has occurred. Mix up a solution of 1 part white distilled vinegar to 2 parts water. Pour the mixture into a hand sprayer and mist it onto the spot. lightly work it into the stain and let it dwell for a minute. Now blot the solution up with a clean white towel. You might have to repeat this step a few times. When you are finished let the carpet dry completely before putting it back to use.

Hopefully his has remedied your problem. Some times you might need to give the vinegar a little time to work on the browning so if it is not out, wait a few hours. If you still have a stain, consider calling a carpet cleaner to remedy it for you. Good luck.
