Carpets are notoriously very difficult to clean, making them one of the worst house chores you could be stuck with. This becomes even more difficult when you're dealing with a greasy stain that gets caught in between all of the fibers. But if you want to get rid of this stain and pick up the excess grease, all you need is some cornstarch. In fact, we learned this old-school hack from the best: our grandma.
When you sprinkle cornstarch on top of the stain and leave it to work its magic for around half an hour, the cornstarch will absorb the grease, remove the stain, and leave a fresh smell behind.
