Quick Emergency Carpet Cleaning Tips!
Kids and Everyday Messes
From spilled juice to marker stains, kids can turn a carpet into an accidental work of art.
CleanWave Tip: To remove surface stains, mix warm water with mild detergent, lightly dampen a cloth, and blot the stain gently. Avoid soaking the area, and dry it as much as possible with a clean cloth.
Dog Urine: Solutions for Stains and Odors
One of the most common accidents for pet owners is urine on the carpet. In addition to causing an unpleasant odor, urine can seep into the fibers, making it harder to remove and attracting bacteria.
CleanWave Tip: For surface stains, mix equal parts white vinegar and water, spray a small amount onto the stain, and let it sit for about five minutes. Then, blot the area thoroughly with a towel. If the urine amount is significant or the stains are deep, blot the area with a paper towel and contact CleanWave Carpet Care for professional help.
Vomit: Quick Removal to Prevent Damage
Vomit is one of the most challenging messes to clean due to its acidity and potential to cause permanent stains.
CleanWave Tip: First, remove any solid residue with a paper towel and blot the area to absorb as much liquid as possible. Next, sprinkle baking soda over the stain to neutralize odors, let it sit, and vacuum it up. Finally, clean the area with a small amount of warm water and detergent, blotting with a clean cloth until the stain is gone.
Blood Stains
Small cuts and accidents can result in blood stains on your carpet.
CleanWave Tip: Immediately blot the stain with a clean cloth, use a small amount of cold water to rinse the area, then apply a mixture of mild detergent and cold water. Always blot instead of scrubbing to prevent the stain from spreading further.
But Be Careful!!!!
Homemade cleaning methods only remove surface stains and can damage carpet fibers. Excess moisture can cause additional issues. While these tips help in emergencies, they are not the best long-term solution, as residue and odors can remain, affecting your home’s comfort.
