Tips On Cleaning Muddy Footprints From A Carpet
Cleaning up muddy footprints from a carpet is not the end of the world, but it can be somewhat of a chore too, depending upon the extent of the tracks.
On suggestion is to sprinkle cornstarch on the area where the mud is tracked on the carpet. Let everything dry. Once that occurs, vacuum up the cornstarch.
Or use the same technique, only sprinkle baking soda on the muddy footprints and let everything dry. Once the area has dried, vacuum up the dirt and then clean up any left over stains with a spot cleaner. If you try to clean up mud when it is wet, it really doesn’t work too well, as it just spreads the mud around and makes things worse.

Any type of stain that is a water borne stain, such as muddy footprints, and be treated in the same way as the footprints got there. You can use warm water, with a very small amount of washing detergent, or white vinegar. Apply the water to the stain and scrub it out then rinse lightly with clear water until the stain is gone. You can dry the area with a fan, when finished.
You can also use special cleaning agents that have unique formulas that lift the soil loose from the carpet fibers themselves, and the bond is broken so that the mud no longer clings to the carpet, and is thus easily swept away. This makes for an easy cleanup, just use the solution, let it soak for ten minutes or so, then rinse.
