Unsightly carpet stains can hurt the appearance of your home or office. If you plan on renting a unit, they can turn prospective renters away, or they may be an embarrassing mark in your commercial building to new clients. While most stains can merely be wiped away, some are more difficult to tackle and may even require hiring a cleaning service. Below, you’ll find the worst stains and how to handle them.

What Are the Trickiest Carpet Stains to Remove? 

1. Wine

Wine is a classic example of a bad carpet stain. Spilling a glass at a corporate party, especially on white carpeting, can be tough on flooring. Wines seep into carpeting quickly, burying deep into the fibers. After someone spills wine, act quickly. Pour table salt onto the stain to soak up what it can before the professional cleaners arrive. Be careful not to dab at the spot with water, as it may simply push the wine further into the fibers and spread the stain around.

2. Blood

Unfortunately, blood stains act similarly to wine stains and can cause similar problems because of their deep color. Always take care of the injury first, then dab the blood from the surface with a wet cloth. Remember that it’s not safe or sanitary to handle a person’s blood, so you should wear plastic gloves. The best solution, however, is to hire a cleaning service. 

3. Bleach

The most ironic stain-causing agent is bleach. Many people may use it to clean up another stain, especially on white carpeting, only to find that they’ve made the issue worse. Bleach can cause permanent fiber damage and discoloration. If some spills, use a mixture of baking soda and water to neutralize the acid.
