Have you ever had to put up with a carpet stain that simply would not disappear? Like an unwanted houseguest, they overstay their welcome. We all love our homes spotless and inviting, especially with Spotless Carpet Cleaning maintaining our floors at their best. Those irritating spills and mysterious smudges can take their toll on our perfect scenery. So, let us equip you with some professional tips to say goodbye to those stubborn carpet enemies.
Not just for faces that scowl and cocktails. Imagine this: you spill berry juice during a chaotic morning meal over the weekend.
Rub the tangy slice over the stained portion. The acidic component actually breaks the bond that the stain has created on the fibers. Remember, however, that you have to test this on an invisible area first to avoid a surprise discoloration.
Then there is baking soda, the unsung hero of house cleaning. Have pets? Well, their ‘presents’ – that is, stains partnered with a highly questionable smell – are no stranger to you, one supposes. Sprinkle some baking soda over the mess and let it sit – much like letting the dough rise, minus the bread benefits – then vacuum it away.
Another involves cold water and patience. It almost sounds too simple, but when red wine has been spilled on the carpet, an overwhelming temptation exists to simply douse it in hot water. Don’t. Cold water will help to prevent the stain from setting. Gently pat it – not like one is rubbing Aladdin’s lamp; this does not grant a clean carpet. Gently give it a good dabbing to absorb the liquid.
Also, white vinegar. Somebody somewhere will dig up a 10,000-year-old manuscript naming vinegar the first cleaner. So, if the carpet wears the signature of a stain, mix equal parts water with white vinegar. Gently dab. Amazing is how something that elevates salads saves our carpets too.
