When it comes to running a household or a business – stains happen! Daily activity, wear-and-tear, and accidents can create embarrassing stains and odors that diminish your quality of life. Here are some tips and tricks to help you maintain the surfaces in your home to keep them looking brand new!
Tough Carpet or Upholstery Stains:
Have you ever used a piece of furniture to cover an unsightly stain on your carpet? Or a blanket to hide an embarrassing upholstery stain? While this may be a quick, temporary fix, stains often harbor harmful mold, dirt, and bacteria that have no place in your home or business.
To extract tough stains, begin by using one of the following mixtures:
- One cup of water + a few drops of dish soap
- One cup of water + one cup or vinegar + one layer of sprinkled baking soda
After creating your cleaning solution, lightly dampen a towel and begin scrubbing the stain, before allowing it to sit for a while. After a few minutes, lightly dab the area with a clean, dry towel to begin lifting the stain.
If neither of these solutions works to remove the stain, it may be time to call in the professionals. The team at Sahara Carpet Care will use hot water extraction technology to remove stubborn stains and restore your carpet to its original condition!
