Treating Water-Soluble Carpet Stains
Water-soluble stains consist of things like latex paint, washable ink, vomit, blood, chocolate, berries, or drinks. Using a simple cleaning solution typically works well to remove these types of stains. Some stores may also carry specialized solutions for these types of stains. However, you should always apply a small amount of any solution you use to a small area before widespread application.
For a DIY homemade solution, try mixing 1 tablespoon ammonia with 1 cup of water, or equal parts of white vinegar with cold water. However, we don’t recommend using this on wool or wool-blend carpet. Try a mild detergent with warm water instead.
Treating Wax And Oily Carpet Stains
These types of stains may seem impossible at first to extract, but give our suggestion a try before you throw in the towel. Try placing ice on top of the wax, gum, or similar substances on your carpet, then pick it out with a blunt knife. You may also try covering the stain with a paper towel then ironing over it on a warm setting.
Lightly cover the area with rubbing alcohol for glue spilled on the carpet, then wipe it away gently. For nail polish, use a rag dipped in a small amount of nail polish remover. As with the application of any type of solution, be sure to apply it on a small piece of carpet before major application. This will prevent possible discoloration and irreversible damage that might occur.
Treating Pet Urine And Odors On Carpet
Lightly dab and absorb as much of the pet urine accident as much as you can. As is the case with most stains, never rub the stain as this can cause it to spread and become harder to remove. Never apply a blow dryer or any other source of heat directly to the stain either. Some store-bought solutions exist that temporarily mask the odor, but the problem won’t be fixed entirely.
For pet stains and their associated odor and bacteria to be removed completely, you’ll need to schedule professional pet urine and odor removal treatment from Chem-Dry of Northern Nevada. Failing to properly treat pet urine accidents can be detrimental and incite health problems, especially those with respiratory issues.
