Spot & Stain Removal
Keeping your carpets clean is important not only because you want to keep your home looking good, but also because you want your carpet to last as long as possible. The following are a few spot and stain removal tips to help you keep your carpet looking as good as new for years to come.
What Not to Do - If the Stain is Permanent
Unfortunately, sometimes a stain becomes permanent – especially if you didn’t have a chance to clean the stain immediately. The following are a few things you should avoid doing to a permanent stain:
1. Don't rub the stain
Frantically rubbing the stain can not only cause the stain to be driven further into the carpet, but it could cause damage to the carpet’s material.
2. Don't start at the center
By trying to blot or scrub from the center of the stain, you will risk spreading the stain even more. You should always wipe or blot from the outside in.
3. Don't use hot water
Hot water will cause the stain’s structure to change, which can result in it bonding with the surface of your carpet.
4. Don't use harsh cleaning solutions
Always try to use mild detergents or water first. Harsh cleaning solutions can damage the carpeting. Here at One Step Ahead, we have the best products and the experience to treat even the most difficult stains and spots.
While many stains can be removed using home remedies, particularly bad stains should be removed by a professional service such as One Step Ahead. If the previous spot and stain removal tips fail, the last thing you should do is attempt more severe methods as this can damage your carpet. We have the best products and the experience to treat even the most difficult stains and spots. Even if the stain is permanent, we may be able to replace a small portion of the carpet with another piece, thereby avoiding the need to replace the entire carpet.
