Use carpet stain remover and a strong vacuum to get rid of ground up Halloween candy.
Between ridiculous outfits and too much candy, Halloween is a damn big mess. Before you start dressing up for this magical time of the year, it’s a good idea to know some of the best practices for cleaning problems you might encounter. Here’s how you can undo some common cleaning disasters this Halloween.
Fake Blood and Makeup
Rubbing alcohol is the best thing to use when trying to get rid of costume makeup that’s smeared on clothes, bedding, and furniture. Fake blood is made with a combination of corn syrup and dye, but it’s mostly the dye part that creates stains. Because fake blood and makeup are both pigment-based stains, rubbing alcohol will cut through the stickiness and make clean up super easy.
Ground Up Candy
If you’re having a Halloween party in your office, it’s inevitable that some candy will fall on the floor, get stepped on, and then stuck in your carpet. There are a few things you can do to resolve this problem. A carpet stain remover can be used to treat stains left from candy that gets dropped on rugs. If candy gets stuck between floorboards, a strong vacuum or hose attachment will do the trick to get them out. If that doesn’t work, try a scraper tool to pull the candy out.
Puke
Vomiting sometimes happens on Halloween, oftentimes because partiers binge on too much candy or alcohol, or both. If this happens, the first thing you will want to do is remove as much of the vomit as possible with paper towels and absorb whatever moisture is left. Then you will need to treat the remaining stain with an enzymatic cleaner. If you still have some lingering odor, sprinkle baking soda liberally on the spot to deodorize it for an hour or so before vacuuming.
