How to Clean Carpets 101
There are so many carpet types to choose from starting with cut and loop piles and finishing with multi-level loop pile. No matter which carpet you place in your home or office be it Saxony, Berber, Velvet or Frieze, you still need to clean it properly to maintain healthy environment. Our company offers best carpet steam cleaners in the industry by top manufacturers including Bissell, Hoover and Ladybug vapor steam cleaners. So, here are some useful suggestions when handling carpet stain on your own:
Red Wine Stain
First, try to pour cold water on the stained area and blot it with a cloth. Repeat the process until no more red wine can be removed. Prepare the following cleaning solution: mix 3 spoons of baking soda with one cup of warm water. Apply it on the stained area and allow it to dry before vacuuming. Finally, if the stain remains on the carpet, use a carpet stain remover according to the instructions.
Chocolate Stain
In this case you can either allow the chocolate to harden in order to scrape the excess chocolate later on with a blunt knife and eliminate the entire stain under the hot water or do just the opposite, i.e. to remove as much chocolate as possible before it hardens and clean the stain using the solution prepared from household ammonia mixed with water in 1:5 ratio.
Mustard Stain
Mustard contains turmeric, a yellow dye, which bonds well with fabrics and if not treated immediately, might be next to impossible to remove. Pick up any excess spill with a dull knife. Mix one teaspoon of liquid dish detergent with two cups of warm water and let it rest over the stained area for five minutes. Blot gently and rinse the carpet with warm water. Vacuum the residue.
If that didn't work prepare the hydrogen peroxide solution that includes one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide and three tablespoons of warm water. Let it rest for 30 minutes, but watch for loss of color. Cover the stain with a towel to avoid the loss of chemical properties. Again, rinse the stain with warm water and vacuum the excess.
