How to Remove Carpet Stains with 2 Different Methods
Oil and Grease
Various foods, cosmetics, and household products can lead to greasy or oily stains. To get them out may require a few repeated processes but it’s worth it! You’ll need any dry cleaning solvent and a bunch of clean white cloths for this.
- Start by pouring a little solvent onto the cloth; just enough to dampen it, not soak
- Dab the stain repeatedly until the fabric begins to stain
- Use another clean side (or another material) with more solvent and repeat this process three or four times
- After the carpet dries up, the stain will have lightened significantly. Use this method multiple times until the stain has vanished but remember to allow the carpet to dry up each time before doing it again
- If you’d like to rinse out the solvent from your carpet, take clean damp cloth and gently wipe the area
This method can be used for stains caused by the following:
- Butter
- Mayonnaise
- Cheese
- Beauty Creams/Lotions
- Makeup
- All types of Oil
- Grease
Wine and Other Beverages
If you live in or around Woodinville, chances are you’ve visited one of the countless wineries at Wine Country and taken home a bottle or two of the best ones you tasted there. But when you spill that wine on your carpet, it makes you wish you never did! That needn’t be them anymore, however, because a wine stain on your carpet can be removed using the following method:
- Dip a clean, white kitchen towel in (fabric) stain remover and wring it slightly till there is no dripping
- Start blotting the area, replacing the towel(s) when stained
- Take a fresh towel dipped in stain remover and gently hold it down on the stain for about a minute and remove
- After a few moments of sitting time, dab a dry cloth over the area to remove as much moisture as possible
- Pour a little white vinegar onto a clean cloth and blot the stain some more until most of the stain is transferred onto the cloth
- If the stain is still fairly evident, place a vinegar-soaked and wrung cloth over it and leave for half an hour
- By now the wine stain will have been removed, and you can finish off by wiping the area with a clean, damp cloth
Other stains which can be removed using the same process include:
- Beer
- Juice
- Cola
- Tea/Coffee
- Ketchup/Sauces
- Chocolate
- Dairy Products
