Carpet Cleaning Tips: How to Get Stains Out of Your Carpet

If you are trying to figure out how to get stains out of your carpet, there are some important things to keep in mind when it comes to carpet cleaning.

The approach you take for removing stains will depend on the type of stain and carpet you have. There is no one-size-fits-all remedy for stain removal—especially when it comes to rugs. If you are dealing with a heavy duty stain, or multiple (from pets, for example) it would be wise to call a professional carpet cleaning company in Pinellas Park to have it taken care of. Doing so can save you a lot of time, energy and frustration.

However, if you are determined to get a stain out of your carpet yourself, below are a few helpful carpet cleaning tips for some of the most common spills. (Please keep in mind these are not guaranteed to work. If you have a stubborn mess that isn’t getting any better when you try to clean it, give us a call.)

Water Soluble Stains If the stain is water-soluble you will often want to use vinegar, water, and sometimes detergent. Some of the most popular water-soluble stains include Alcohol Coca Cola Ink Paint Mud To create a cleaning concoction for any of these, mix a teaspoon of vinegar, non-bleach detergent, and 32 oz. of water. Spray onto the area, and blot.

Carpet Cleaning Tip: Never scrub the stain—always blot.
