Carpet Cleaning

Your carpet eventually will become a target of spills, accidents, drops, and whatever is in your shoes, despite your best efforts at cleaning it. Here are some carpet-cleaning secrets from professionals to keep your carpet look like brand new. 

• Do Not Rub Stains 

Dab the stain with a clean sponge, paper towels, or a clean cloth together with a cleaning solution. Blotting is the key. It puts a little amount of pressure on the stain to absorb it. Rubbing causes the stain to get crushed into the fibers of your carpet. This could lead to the early fiber breakdown. Remember; always blot from outside the stain going inward, so that you won’t spread the stain. 

• Using the Club Soda Procedure 

Have you ever heard of the club soda process? A lot of people say that it is useful against wine or beer stains. And yes, it’s true, if you only correctly use it. 

Put the soda on a cloth and blot the stain. Mix one part water and one part white vinegar if that does not work and pour it into a sprayer. Spray the mixture on the whole area that is stained and let it sit for around 11 up to 16 minutes. After, to absorb the stain and the mixture, press a clean sponge onto the area. You may need to repeat the procedure to completely remove the stain. 

• Shaving Cream 

An ordinary shaving cream is the best carpet cleaner for general stains. It would eliminate every stain type. Apply directly the shaving cream to the affected area and let it sit for around 35 minutes. Blot the shaving cream away using a white dry cloth once the shaving cream has set. Finish by spraying the stain with one part water and one part vinegar and wipe away the mixture with a clean cloth. 

• Dried Gum 

There will be times where your carpet will have sticky gum on it. It may be from a gum outside that you have stepped or a kid inside your house threw it away. Go to your freezer and get some ice cubes to get it out. For about 30 seconds, rub the ice to the gum. Use a spoon to lift the gum up and cut the carpet strands as close to the gum as possible once the gum is frozen. The spot should not be obvious if you only cut a tiny amount of carpet. 

• Dishwasher Detergent 

Using a drop or two of a dishwashing detergent, like joy, in a cup of water is the greatest method against grease stains that are tough to clean. It will cut through the grease in the carpet the same as it does to your plates. Put the mixture in a sprayer and spray it on the affected area. You may have to repeat the process if the stain is much larger. 

• Call a Professional
