Company Coming Over? Check Out These Quick Fixes for Carpet Spills

Check out these tips and tricks to take care of carpet stains right away.

Food and Drink Stains

Food and drink stains are one of the most common issues when it comes to keeping carpets clean. Follow these steps to remove food and drink stains fast.

  1. Scoop up what you can using a spoon and a bowl or paper towel. If the stain involves a large amount of liquid, use a dry/wet vacuum to remove as much of the liquid as possible.
  2. Blot—don’t rub—the stain with a white cloth or paper towel dipped in warm water. Keep pressing on the stain until no color appears on the cloth.
  3. If your stain still isn’t budging, mix a quart of warm water with a teaspoon of laundry detergent. Let the mixture sit on the stain for about five minutes, then blot again until no color appears on the cloth.

Pet Stains

You love your pets, but they’re inevitably messy. Follow these steps to get pet stains out of carpets right away.

  1. Just like with food and drink stains, scoop any residual material away from the stained area. Dip a white cloth or paper towel in warm water and blot the area.
  2. Mix a quart of warm water with a teaspoon of laundry detergent, let the mixture sit on the stain for five minutes, then blot again.
  3. Mix a quart of water with two tablespoons of vinegar. Blot the mixture on the area to neutralize odor.
  4. Place a clean towel over the stain and place a heavy object on top of the towel. Allow the weighted towel to sit for 30 minutes. If the carpet is not completely dry after half an hour, repeat the process with another towel. Vacuum the area to get rid of any dents that were caused by the heavy object.
