If you have an unsightly stain on your carpet, you can pre-treat it before the carpet cleaning services arrive. With different stains, each requires a specific way to clean your carpet. This guide will assist you in tackling the toughest of carpet stains by highlighting the fundamentals of carpet cleaning.

3 Carpet Stains You Can Pre-Treat

1. Pet Stains

If you are a pet owner, you should prepare to clean up after your furry friend if they have an accident on your carpet. The best method for removing pet stains is first to pick up any leftover debris on the carpet. Don’t smear and rub the carpet as this can cause the waste to dig further into your carpet. For optimal cleaning, use pet-formulated cleaning spray, or mix water with laundry detergent to spray pet stains. After soaking your carpet in cleaning solution, blot any stains with a clean towel to ensure professionals can easily clean it.

2. Coffee Stains

Your morning coffee is a danger to your carpet if you spill it onto the floor. If this happens, grab a clean towel, and blot off any residue on the surface. Since coffee tends to stain carpets easily, you should use commercial products or a mixture of water, vinegar, and non-bleach detergent to get most of the stain out. After that, professional carpet cleaning services will use their industrial-grade cleaning solutions to remove the stain.

3. Ink Stains

Ink stains are notorious for ruining carpets. If your pen suddenly breaks and ink spills onto your carpet, you must remove it quickly before it dries. Isopropyl alcohol works wonders against ink stains. Use a high level of alcohol for maximum effect against these stains. Begin by wetting a clean towel with alcohol and dab the ink stain on your carpet. Once the stain soaks for a few minutes, use water to rinse off any alcohol, and blot until the carpet is dry. Certain hairsprays and nail polish removers can act as alternatives if you don’t have isopropyl alcohol in your household.
