No matter how hard we try we cannot avoid getting different types of stains on our favorite carpet. When we notice a stain our first thought is to go to the nearest store and buy all chemical-based carpet cleaning solutions, that we see. Although, they are very useful, they are toxic and can affect your and your family's health. Now there are effective and cheaper alternatives to all those commercial products, you can easily replace them with home-made cleaning solvents. Here are two types of stains and solutions how to help you to deal with them.
Most people do not know how to clean properly this type of stain. Many of you do not know that you can easily clean the stain with a cornmeal, you just need to sprinkle the spot and let it sit on the area, at least ten minutes. After that you need to make a solution, combine one part water and one part vinegar, mix it and use a sponge to apply it to the area. Then you should sweep most of the cornmeal and then do not forget to blot the rest of the solvent with a clean towel or damp white cloth.
Red wine stains
Do not panic when someone spills a red wine on your carpet, now you can clean it environment friendly, without making the stain worse. You need to act fast, otherwise the stain will become very difficult to remove. When the stain is on a light or white-colored carpet you need to sprinkle salt all over the spot and let it sit for at least fifteen minutes. This way the salt will turn pink and absorb as much of the wine as possible. After that vacuum thoroughly the spot, but be careful not to spread the stain. Then clean the area with a mixture of 2/3 cup of water and 1/3 cup of white vinegar.
If the stains are very stubborn to remove you can hire a carpet cleaning London company to steam clean the carpet for you.
