Removing poo stains from rugs

[TT55]

Is there a way of removing poo stains from rugs at home without having to send them off to be professionally cleaned?

I have a couple of summer sheet type rugs which i had to use in the stable one time and now they are covered in poo stains. Not the end of the world really, but it would be nice if i could get them clean again. Have already tried a human stain remover and whacked them in the washing machine but it didnt work

I don't bother any more waste of time with my lad, though I do jet wash them with a kacher jet wash on my heavy due clothes rail here >>>> http://horse-care-and-advice.weebly.com/useful-ideas.html and put fabric cleaner on them and then jet wash close to the item and it does a fairly good job

I have two white summer sheets that we alternate in the stable weekly so they never get too bad - Vanish Gold and a 50 degree wash works for me, I am about to try DAZ though as a friend swears by it!

Cool link, thanks!

I don't have a jet washer unfortunately The rugs in question only cost £20ish each so probably not even worth it.. But one of the rugs is a really unique colour and i dont think you can buy them anymore so im open to ideas

You need a stain remover that has oxy action (eg the vanish gold above) in it if the stain is relatively fresh. Squirt that on, remove after effective period with kitchen roll then repeat until stain goes sortof yellow-y.
If stain is already yellow-y or old then saturate the area in white vinegar, and then put baking soda on it, you'll see it pull the stain out.
All this is a total faff for a relatively innocuous substance. I've only done it through to completion/ total stain removal when we had an accident down a super posh wool traveling rug I was given as a gift as I didn't want to appear ungrateful. Unlike my horse.
PS I then put scotchguard around the quarter area that he mashed it into, however that might not be great for a rug that's worn daily etc. due to sensitivity. However that totally prevented a repeat problem as it lifted straight off with b&m pet wipes.

Thank you! I dont know why i didnt think of vinegar and baking soda, i use that to clean other things and it works a treat. Will give it a go!
