Sprinkling a glass of wine on the carpet can be a disaster, and the stains should be treated as soon as possible to prevent long-term damage.

Although there are many carpet cleaning products available, according to Home Steady's DIY experts, vodka may be a foolproof method to remove unwanted marks.

They said: "Vodka can remove stains caused by grass, ink, red wine and some food."

The good news is that you don’t need to spend money on high-end branded spirits.

The expert added: "Cheap vodka is as effective as good things, but for best results, stick to unflavored vodka."

If the stain is fresh or still wet, first wipe the stained area with a soft white cloth.

This will absorb as much material as possible.

Next, pour the vodka on a dry white cloth and dab the stain.

Then, let the area air dry.

Coca-Cola is known for its ability to clean some unlikely surfaces, which is surprising and a bit worrying.

According to family and lifestyle blog A Blog to Home, the burnt pot is one of them.

They recommend pouring the coke on the burnt area to loosen it.

It is said that this soft drink works wonders due to its acidic properties.

Cover the burnt surface with cola, and then add two to three inches of additional liquid to the pot, as some of the liquid may evaporate during heating.

After filling the scorched pot with soda water, place it on the stove to boil.

Once the liquid starts to boil, turn off the heat and leave the pot for a few hours or until the stain becomes loose.
