So you spilled something over your clean carpeting
, huh? It certainly is a terrible feeling when something totally new gets "tainted". Whether it be a fresh stain on your carpet or your first scratch on your brand new phone, if you are anything like me it gets you upset.
Today I'm gonna concentrate on delivering some helpful pointers to maintaining your carpeting. Spills happen, even sometimes when we're extremely careful. Kids are notorious for little accidents that leave your carpet looking dingy and dirty.
Personally nothing looks worse than aquiring a big red spot on your carpeting. Don't be angry if it happens just do something to fix it. The sooner you act the higher the chance you will be able to get that carpet mark out.
First things first, You must act immediately! Don't delay until the stain has dried and set-in before you get around to cleaning it up.
Never start out with harsh chemicals. It's best to use more non-abrasive materials to eliminate the spot before attempting to bring out your "big guns". Stick with water until nothing left comes up. Then move on to other methods.
Dab or pat the blemish don't scrub it. That's a big one. Do Not Scrub the mark! It is going to cause the stain to spread and can make it set. Instead, press over the stain and lift up, continue this technique till the blemish isn't soaking up any further.
If the stain is really severe sometimes the best option is to buy a Wet-Dry Vac. Those things keep your spot damp while sucking up the stain not allowing it to set. One of the best keys is to try to keep the stain wet and not let it dry.
Not every stains are easy to remove the same way. The simplest way to start removing one is to pinpoint a proven solution for that specific spill.
People under estimate the value of getting their carpeting cleaned professional on a annual basis. Professional cleaning is significant in order to keep your carpet looking great for years to come.
If you want to save the cost of hiring someone to come out and clean your carpets, I'd suggest going the professional cleaner vac. These are around $150 and often will manage to pay for itself a number of times over by not having to pay someone to come out.
Good luck with keeping your carpeting mark free. Clean looking carpet makes your house a whole lot more inviting.
