Eradicating Marks From A Carpet.

By: Steve Drumm

Regardless of who you happen to be, or how clean and fussy you might be, there is likely to be times when you will get spots on your carpet. Spots happen. Drinks drip or get spilled, shoes carry in debris, dust collects, children have accidents. So, what should you do when you have carpet spots? Getting your carpets cleaned will be very costly, not to mention that the frequent cleaning can break the carpet down, and shorten its lifetime.

This is a look at how you could clean carpet spots on your own without calling in the cleaners:

Deciding on a cleaner - Each carpet is different and so every cleaner should be as well. You do not need to buy a costly machine to clean your carpet, a bucket and a rag could be nearly as effective, but the product you use to clean the carpet needs to be selected carefully. Oxyclean is a great option for pretty much any carpet, and the directions for mixing it for carpet cleaning are on the packaging. Bissel also make some great carpet cleaner products.

Test your cleaner - The best way to guard yourself from difficulties with your carpet spots is to test the product you intend to clean it with in a isolated place. If you have a closet for example, test the carpet inside it instead of in the centre of your room. This will help you know if you are likely to have a problem including dying the carpet or bleaching it. Once you have tested it, and found it to be fine, move to step three.

Clean the mark as soon as possible. If you get a spot in your carpet, donot leave it for long. The earlier you clean it, the greater the outcomes are likely to be. So, if your child spills juice, clean it immediately.

Pretreat - The same as with clothing, stains on carpet will lift easier if you give the product a possible opportunity to work. So pre-treat the carpet, and come back to it a few minutes later.

Don’t over-soak the carpet. Water and soap are a great tool because they collect and attract dirt. If you happen to use too much water and soak your carpet, it could actually end up dirtier than it was before. So, do your best not to over soak the floor. Use a vacuum of some kind to suck up excess water.

Make sure that the carpet is totally dry before anyone walks on it. If you let people tread on your carpet right after it has been cleaned, the stains may return, or you might get new ones. Think of it similar to a new baby, if it is subjected to something right after cleaning, it is more likely to get dirty and make it worse. So, if need be, block the room off.

Having a spray bottle with carpet spot cleaner available to fight stains immediately is a wise idea. In addition, you may want to keep a box of wet wipes on hand.

For my training as a carpet fitter, I joined a company called Carpet Fitters. It was hard going to start with but it is definitely the best way to gain experience. They taught me everything that I know.
