You Should Be Cleaning Your Carpet With An Iron. Here's Why.

Turns out it can do more than you think.

What happens when you drop a piece of pizza on your carpet? ...You iron it, of course.

Carpet expert Bahram Shabahang of design house Orley Shabahang tipped us off to the above trick. It involves layering paper towels on top of the stain and ironing the surface until the stain lifts out in the most impressive way possible.

Note that this only works for greasy food stains: There are separate best practices for removing liquid stains, makeup stains and the like. Happy carpet cleaning!
