We all have our experiences in dealing with various stains on our carpets, but not everyone knows how to remove the dirt in an effective way. It is no secret that if you don't clean your carpets properly you might actually ruin them even further. If you have no basic knowledge in chemistry, cleaning a stain from your carpet might turn out to be a real challenge. In order to help you with removing some nasty accidental stains from your carpets, I've come up with this list of useful tips.
1) When it comes to removing a stain from a carpet there is a rule that is an absolute must: "Remove the stain while it is still fresh." This is essential because the longer the stain stays, the bigger the chance of permanent colouration. Spilled liquids go very deep into the carpets fibres because their molecules have the ability to move more freely around each other, thus they posses a bigger treat to your carpets. The first thing that you must do when you indicate a stains on one of your carpets is to blot the spot. Use some paper towels or and old (but clean) cloth. When you're blotting, you shouldn't scrub. Motions tent to increase the vibrations of particles, thus this will only work the stain deeper into your carpet, making it even harder to get it out.
2) You might think that using expensive commercial carpet cleaning [http://www.carpetcleaning.org.uk/] products is the only way to get rid of a stain efficiently, but you just couldn't be more wrong. There are plenty of things that you can use for a good carpet cleaning that are right under your nose (not literally). Did you know that you can remove almost any stain from your carpets by using plain dish-washing liquid? Just mix a small amount of the dish-washing detergent you have at hand with a bowl full of warm water and there you have it! A good ecologically friendly carpet cleaning solution that is both cheap and effective.
3) Use this carpet cleaning solution to remove the stain completely. Soak a sponge (or an old cloth) and use it to scrub the stain. The dirt should come out quite easily. When you're scrubbing, it is recommended that you do it in straight lines (not in circles). Try not to widen the range of the stain. When you've successfully removed the dirty spot, you should rinse the treated are with warm water. Make sure that there is no trace of the stain or the carpet cleaning solution. It is wise not to cover your floor immediately with the treated carpet. You should leave it in a well ventilated room to air dry (the balcony is also a good choice).
Well, I sure hope that these simple tips will be useful to you. Personally, I prefer to "think green" and I do not approve the use of any harsh chemicals because they are very bad for the environment. So I recommend that you also step on the "green carpet" for the sake of our planet.
