Heloise tips for oil spills and mildew on outdoor carpet

Dear Heloise recommends washing oily spills on plastic outdoor carpet immediately with mild detergent and warm water to prevent soaking into the rubber backing. Rinse with a garden hose and wipe away the oil. To fight mildew, pull back carpet, apply household bleach to a paper towel, rub the spot on concrete, and let dry. Vacuum the carpet monthly to remove dust and prevent rings when it rains.
