The Best Stain Removers for Carpets and Upholstered Furniture
Upholstery care and carpet cleaning in our site often work together to combat stains. The stains on carpets and sofas can frustrate homeowners. The right methods and knowledge can help you remove these spots.
It is important to remove stains quickly. It is more difficult to remove stains the longer they are left on. To begin, blot up the stain first with an absorbent and clean cloth. This easy step will prevent the stain getting deeper into the fibres. You should blot the stain rather than rub it, since rubbing the fabric can spread the stain.
Mixing dish soap with water is often effective for water-based stains such as food or drinks. It is a gentle way to remove stains without harming the fabric. You can use a brush with soft bristles to work in the solution, then blot the residue away using a clean towel.
Grease or make-up, which are oil-based, need a different treatment. These types of stains can be removed with a dry cleaning solution. By dabbing the solvent onto the stain, the solvent will begin to dissolve the oil or grease. Test any cleaning product on a small area before using it to be sure it won’t discolor or damage the fabric.
Baking soda combined with vinegar is a great way to remove tougher stains like red wine and ink. Baking soda can absorb odors while vinegar’s acidity helps break down the stain. You can apply a paste of vinegar and baking powder to the stain. Let it sit for some time, then gently wipe away.
