You love your new carpet and wonder if you can keep it looking great for many years. After all, the most careful homeowner?even one without kids or pets?is susceptible to a spill now and then.
The trick is to treat it right away. Then, get rid of it before it has a chance to become a set-in stain.
Red wine or coffee spills might sound intimidating, but the proper technique and cleaning solutions can remove even the most stubborn spot.?
Blot, don?t rub
Use a paper towel or a clean white cloth to absorb any excess liquid from your carpet in Fargo, ND. Make sure you use white, as the dye can bleed into the rug's dye lots.
Use a manufacturer-approved stain remover
After the initial blotting, spray with a stain remover. Follow the manufacturer's application instructions; you can find them on your warranty or company website.
Alternatively, make your own. Add one tsp mild dishwashing liquid and 1/4 tsp white vinegar to one quart of warm water.?
Apply the mixture to stain and let sit for 10 minutes. Don't over-wet the stain, as that damages the backing.?
If you have questions, check with our carpet store staff before proceeding.??
Blot again
Use a paper towel or a clean white cloth to blot from the outside. It's important to blot this way so the stain won't spread.
Use cold water and dry immediately. Some even cover it with a paper towel and anchor it with a weighted object to absorb it.
