Tips & Techniques for Tricky Stains - carpet stain removal

Basic Carpet Stain Removal

1. Scoop up as much of the spill as possible.
2. Blot the spot, don't rub or scrub. Gently press clean cloths into the stained area to remove moisture. (Scrubbing can damage the fiber and set the stain into the carpet.)
3. Apply warm, NOT hot, water to the stained area and blot until the stain stops transferring to the cloth.
4. If you can still see the stain, make a Detergent Solution by adding 1/4 teaspoon dishwashing liquid to one cup warm water.  (Don't use too much soap, because it's difficult to rinse out of the carpet.)
5. Apply the detergent solution, let sit five minutes, then rinse with clear warm water. Repeat until all the detergent is removed.
6. Place layers of white paper towels on the spill to absorb the liquid. Weight down the towels with a non-staining glass or ceramic object. You can let them sit overnight.
7. When the carpet is dry, vacuum to restore the texture.
8. If you can see the stain after all this, repeat steps 3 through 7. It means the stain penetrated deep into the pile and has wicked up to the surface.

You protect your precious carpet hoping no accidents or carpet stains will ever occur, and in a flash accidents happen–a coffee spill, Kool-aid spill, drop of blood, or your pet diddles or messes one more time on your new carpet. In a panic, you reach for a towel, but you discover moments later you have just spread the stain and maybe even rubbed it in deeper. Removing stains from your carpet properly while preserving your carpets is an art and a science. The first tool you must know is the cleaning wheel. Every type of cleaning leverages four factors—time, temperature, chemical and mechanical action. The proper amount of time, with the right chemical(s) at the right temperature with the correct mechanical action combine to provide the best cleaning process. All of this can be overwhelming though for homeowners.
