Different Carpet Stains And How To Remove Them Yourself

There are different types of carpet stains, some are very easy to remove, and others can be perplexing and stubborn. While some might just need a simple bathroom soap, others may require professional help.

 

Save money by doing it yourself, but be wary that if the problem doesn’t go away, it may be more difficult to remove later.

 

‘Since some DIY can make the stain more stubborn than ever, always try it first on the edge of the carpet or somewhere that’s not noticeable, behind a counter or at the edge where the vase sits’ says Victor Nugent, owner of AJS Carpet Cleaning Lindon.

 

The easiest way to do this is simply buy a solution that is ready made at home improvement shops. Or, you can do it yourself with natural and homemade solution. One of the most challenging carpet stains are the old ones that simply won’t go away. Since it is easier to fix things when they are still fresh, homemade DIY carpet cleaning solution might be the better choice since time is of the essence.

 

Here are some of the stains and DIY techniques to counter it.

 

 

Fruit juice stains are the most common of stains and can be cleaned by dabbing a small amount of water with towel. If the juice stain is still fresh, then just dabbing it with a dry cloth will do. Next mix a teaspoon of liquid detergent to a cup of water and dab repeatedly until stain is lifted, rinse with water and let dry.

 

 

Coffee spills are tougher to remove than juice stain due to its properties, try the same approach as with the juice stains but add white vinegar to the liquid detergent mix. Continuously blot the stain until it is lifted completely. Repeat the process until satisfied, and then rinse off with water.

 

 

Blood stains are the hardest of the most common stains, so be aware that improper handling might cause permanent damage, to remove blood stain, first soak up with clean dry cloth as much as possible. You then apply a mixture of ammonia and water in a sprayer to loosen the blood, and then absorb it with dry cloth or vacuum. Never brush the stain as it might weaken the fibers and breakage.
