Cleaning Tips
Dab stains with a cleaning solution and a clean cloth, paper towels, or a sponge. "The key is
blotting. Blotting puts a small amount of pressure on the stain to soak it up“.
Always blot from the outside of the stain inward, as blotting outward can spread the stain.
Blot Stains, Don't Rub Them
Blot the area with the soda on a cloth. If that doesn't work, mix one part white vinegar with
one part water and pour it into a handheld sprayer.Spray the solution on the entire stained
area and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to soak in. Then press a clean sponge onto the area to soak
up the solution and the stain.
The Club Soda Process
The best carpet cleaner for general stains is ordinary shaving cream—"It will remove just about every type of stain."Apply the shaving cream directly to the stain and let it set for about 30 minutes. Once the shaving
cream has set blot it away with a dry white cloth. Finish by spraying the area with one part vinegar
mixed with one part water and then wiping away the solution with a cloth.
Try Shaving Cream
You step in chewing gum out on the street but don't realize it until you tracked that gross,sticky mess onto your carpet.
To get it out, head to the freezer and grab a couple of ice cubes.Freeze the gum with ice cubes for about 30 seconds. Once the gum is frozen solid, use a spoon to lift up the glob
and cut the strands of carpet as close to the gum as possible. If you cut only a small amount of carpet, the spot
shouldn't be noticeable.
Freeze-Dried Gum
The best method against difficult-to-clean grease stains is to use a drop or two of a grease-cutting dishwashing detergent,such as Joy, in a cup of water. It'll cut through
the grease in the carpet just the way it does on your dishes. "Put the solution in a spray bottle and spray it on the stain". "Then blot it up." Again, you may need to do
this multiple times for larger stains.
Dishwasher Detergent vs Grease
Burning candles in the house can result in wax dripping onto the carpet, where it quickly dries and gets
embedded.Tarbox recommends heating it back up to remove it. Place a white cloth over your iron, then put the iron on top of the wax to warm it up.Finally, scrape off the
wax with a butter knife.
Heat Wax
Few carpet stains are as obvious as blood. But suffering a paper cut on your finger and getting a few drops on the
carpet doesn't mean your shag is ruined.Hydrogen peroxide will get out blood all day long". First, loosen up dried blood with water mixed with a mild detergent. Then scrape off as
much blood from the fibers as you can. To get the remainder, apply hydrogen peroxide directly to the stain.
Hydrogen Peroxide to the Rescue
Even well-trained pets can have an accident on the carpet. Tarbox
prefers organic cleaners, which can costs about $10 for a spray
bottle, rather than using chemicals. Spray the cleaner at the strain. "Some scrubbing will
be necessary,". Then wipe up the cleaner with a cloth or towels.
Eco-Spot and similar cleaners can also be used to remove other
types of stains, including coffee and sauces.
Clean Pet Accidents Organically
Cleaning the carpet is essential to keeping it looking fresh and new. Steam cleaning involves using a
cleaning solution under pressure injected deep into the carpet via
water-jet nozzles. Then the machine extracts the solution along
with the dirt and debris in the carpet. "The water will penetrate the fiber all the way down to the
backing and loosen any embedded soil, remove oil and grease
deposits, and get your carpet cleaner than it has ever been,". He recommends deep cleaning every
six months for a family of four.
