Carpet Stains

I can’t think of a single pet owner that hasn’t had their little kitty, or dog leave them a present at least once on their carpet. Animals might have accidents for a number of reasons. Perhaps he hasn’t been let out enough? Or maybe he’s afraid of the thunder storm? Most likely, he hasn’t been properly trained. While all these are problems, once your dog or cat makes on your carpet, the only thing to do next is to figure out a way to clean it up.

Many people don’t realize how effective adding a carpet cleaning to your vacuuming routine can be for this simple product. For a dog, or cat that has accidents all the time, this might not be enough. A carpet cleaner that’s designed to remove pet stains and odor should be more beneficial then one that isn’t, but sometimes even these fail us.

Was it a white carpet that your little kitty decided to ruin? If so, you might try putting some bleach on it. Bleach is a powerful chemical that won’t only disinfect the carpet, but will also change it back to it’s original color. It’s important to make sure you eventually clean the bleach off the rug so it doesn’t cause any damage to it. Make sure you don’t leave it on for more then a few minutes.

Alcohol happens to be a good tool for those of you with colored carpet. This will make the stain easier to lift, and will kill the germs that it’s bringing into the house. It’s the perfect solution for when we need a color safe fix.

I hope one of these options works well for you. I know many people who’ve suffered from this problem. If it’s really bad, you might consider having it professionally cleaned. In extreme cases, you need to have your carpet replaced.

Cleaning Up Carpet Stains And Why Fast Action Is Important

Anytime you have a nice carpet, it just seems to attract spills. No matter how careful you are, you’ll end up with either peanut butter, red wine, or strawberry cheesecake on your carpet and you’ll need to know what to do in order to take quick action and fix the problem. Now, when I say quick action I mean immediate, and that is the most important part of removing any stain on your carpet, is how fast you get to it, stop the spread, and start the cleanup before anything has dried and set in permanently. If you’re going to be vigilant about catching every stain right away you’ll want to have a basic set of ingredients with which to attack  the stain right away.

First of all, always have some towels handy with which to blot up stains like red wine and keep them from spreading, while also extracting as much of the red wine as you can. You’ll also want to have some rubbing alcohol, club soda, white vinegar, carpet stain remover, and some mineral spirits paint remover. A lot of stains are similar in nature to red wine, in that the basic plan is dilute with copious amounts of water, keep blotting up the excess water with dry towels, repeat as necessary until no more wine comes up on to your towel. Club soda is a bit better than water because of the scrubbing action of the carbonation, and if available it should be used instead of water.

Red food stains can be one of the harder stains remove from your carpet, such as ketchup,  barbecue sauce, and other similar foods. Begin by taking a butter knife and gently remove any excess of the food, being careful not to force more of the stain deeper into the carpet. Then use a mixture white vinegar and water on  the stain, but don’t overdo it. After allowing it to set for about five minutes, blot the area dry with  a clean towel, never rub with your towel, just blot. Repeat as necessary until all the stain has been removed.

So as you can see, removing stains from your carpet is not a difficult process, but remember that time is of the essence, plus it is always better to have your carpet cleaning chemicals and towels ready at a seconds notice in order to take action immediately.
