Common Carpet Stains and What to Do About Them*

With these simple and easy tips, you will have everything you need to keep your carpet protected from the most common types of stains. When the problems get too tough for DIY fixes, reach out to your local carpet cleaning professionals for a more advanced solution

Pet Stains

We all love our four-legged best friends. Whether you have a dog, cat, or bunny, you know first-hand the joy and happiness that pets can bring to a family. However, mistakes can happen, and it’s important to be prepared for when problems arise. Knowing the proper steps can keep long-term damage from pet poop, vomit, and urine to a minimum.
Step one is to pick up the mess quickly after the incident occurs. This includes immediately scooping up any poop and blotting any urine. As you do this, be careful to not scrub the stains. This can push them further into the carpet, making them larger and harder to remove later on. Once all the large debris is cleaned up, use a vinegar solution to clean and blot out the rest.

Coffee Stains

Everyone enjoys a warm cup of Joe in the morning, but very few appreciate the mess it leaves behind when spilled all over their carpet. No matter the size of the mishap, it’s important to be prepared if you want to minimize the damage.
Before you clean, start by consulting the cleaning instructions from the carpet manufacturer. Remember to not scrub your carpet. Instead, blot it out with a towel. Once the remnants of the coffee spill have been removed, use equal parts white vinegar and water solution, and depending on how light your carpet is, feel free to also use a non-bleach detergent.

Ink Stains

Ink stains are some of the most difficult to remove from carpets, especially if the carpet is made of natural fibers like wool or seagrass.
First, start by spraying the stained area with rubbing alcohol. If you don’t have any, you can also use a nail polish remover or hairspray as an alternative. Keep the solution on your carpet for about an hour and when the hour is up, gently blot the area with a microfiber cloth.
