There is nothing wrong with washing up liquid if you want to wash up your dirty plates. That’s what it’s designed for.

But it very difficult to rinse off a plate so how are you going to get it out of your carpet.

Yes it will help to remove dirt and improve the appearance of the carpet, but in a few days you will notice a stain appearing where you applied the washing up liquid. The dirt is sticking to it because it is sticky, just feel round the cap and imagine that in your carpet.

Always think before you apply a stain remover how you are going to remove the remover.If you can’t remove the detergent then your carpet will look far worse in 3 months that before your attempts.

Always use the minimum chemical approach and a product designed for it’s purpose and don’t use washing up liquid on carpets.
