Taking Care of the Mess
The care that your rugs and carpet undergo will determine their attractiveness as well as how long they will last. Some spills and pet stains are an inevitable part of everyday living. If you clean your carpets the right way, they will retain their beautiful appearance for the entirety of their useful lives, they will help improve the air quality in your home, and they will preserve the warranty on your carpeting.
1. The first step, regardless of whether the stain is caused by wine, coffee, Kool-Aid, pee, paint, or anything else, is to remove as much of the substance as possible from the rug or carpet as quickly as possible. Either paper towels or a clean white washcloth will do the job well. Repeat the blotting motion until you have removed every last bit of liquid.
2. After the spill has been blotted up, many of them will need to be diluted. If it can be seen that a significant amount of the chemical that was spilled is still embedded in the rug, dilute it with water (presuming that the substance is water-soluble) using the required amount of water. That could mean a half cup of water in the case of a minor accident, or it could mean a quart of water in the case of a significant spill. If you can avoid it, avoid getting the rug completely soaked in water.
It is important to take note that many carpets have colors that are not stable and may run if water is spilled on them. However, they only make up a small portion of the total rug population. There are times when you have no choice but to test your luck.
3. Let’s go on to the blotting process. Take whatever you can out of the situation.
4. There is no reason to be alarmed even if the carpet or rug has become wet as a result of the operation. There is a good chance that it can withstand being wet for at least a few days without suffering any damage. Despite this, you will need to take care of the wet carpeting and work to speed up the drying process. It is possible that you may need to raise the rug in order to improve the circulation of air underneath it if it is quite damp. You might simply place some crumpled-up newspapers under it in that spot. To encourage air circulation, you might want to set a fan down on the rug.
5. Spot removers that are designed for use on wall-to-wall carpeting should not be used on Oriental rugs since they could damage the rug. Your rug’s wool pile will suffer damage as a result of its presence.
Even after all of your efforts, the rug may still be stained, therefore you should think about getting it to a professional rug washer as soon as you can. Or, if the stain occurred on your carpet, it is time to call in a professional that specializes in cleaning carpets. Get in touch with Green Carpet’s Cleaning for expert assistance.
