Have a Super Bowl party that featured some spills? Here’s what to do.

Soggy beer-soaked carpets turn brown if allowed to dry. Blot first, rinse with club soda, blot again … and use carpet cleaner or spot remover. Then, to prevent a brown ring from any residual brew, use a hair dryer.

Someone fumble the guacamole? Scoop up what you can, rinse with club soda, blot, wait 10 minutes, and rinse again with cool water. Then use carpet cleaner or spot remover.

Some of the toughest are salsa, chili, sloppy joes, red wine and ketchup. First, use baking soda to absorb liquids. Then scoop up solids, rinse with club soda, and blot. Clean remaining stains with a solution of one half cup of hydrogen peroxide and one teaspoon of ammonia. Rinse with water and blot dry.
