Today, I spilt purple washing detergent all over my white carpet. Desperate to get it up I grabbed a blue towel and started mopping it up. The detergent hasn't stained the carpet at all, the blue dye from the towel has. FML

A detergent that stains would be pretty ineffective... Lol That sucks, though.

Put some food coloring on it and make it a rainbow?

you "mopped" it up on carpet?....

YDI for having white carpet.

You have to be one of the dumbest people on the planet to think laundry detergent would stain your carpet.

Two Words Could Solve Your Problem there: SHAM-WOW!

Today I started washing my clothes in grape juice, because apparently it is possible for things to wash your clothes but stain your carpet.

why would you think soap would stain a white rug???

why didn't you just clean it with a vacuum?

this may be a stupid question... but how would detergent stain something? wouldn't that render it pointless as a cleaning agent?

Super smart!

yeah, as a general rule, laundry detergent REMOVES stains. it dosnt make them.
