The area of the house that can be hard to deal with are messes, stains and spills in the carpet. If you have girls in your house then you know that nail polish can be your worst enemy. Doing pedicures is great but when that tiny bottle tips over and spills on the carpet or fabric upholstery it can be disastrous. You want to make sure that you know what options you have to clean the spill.
