Your carpet will eventually fall victim to spills, splashes and whatever is on the bottom of your shoes, despite of your best efforts. To save yourself from undue frustration and woe, read this article where we discuss professional methods of dealing with various stains is discussed. As with any DIY cleaning method, Make sure you test these out on a hidden piece of carpet prior to using it in a visible area of carpeting.

Blot Stains, Don't Rub Them

The best way to deal with stubborn stains is to dab them with a cleaning solution and a sponge. Rubbing the stain actually spread it instead of removing it, and ultimately, you are left with an even bigger mess to clean. This practice also weakens the fibers and causes their premature breakdown.

The Club Soda Process

If you use club soda correctly, it can get rid of string beer and wine stains. The procedure of using club soda is simple, as listed below:

·         Mix one part strong club soda, and one part water. Pour this solution in a handheld spray and spray it on the affected area. Let the solution sit in for 15 to 20 minutes and then press clean sponge to soak in the moisture. Repeat the process if necessary. Make sure that you don’t rub the stain.

Once you have removed the stain, rinse it with warm water and let it dry by laying paper towels on top.

Try Shaving Cream

It may come as a surprise, but shaving creams can actually remove just about any type of stain. Apply shaving cream on the stain for about 30 minutes, and then remove it by vinegar-water solution. Blot away the excess solution and let your carpet dry.

Frozen-Dried Gum

It is only natural to step in on chewing gum out on the street. You don’t realize the presence of this sticky gum unless you see it sticking to your carpet. Don’t worry; you can still save your carpet by freezing the gum and pulling it out. Take out a handful of ice cubes from your freezer and place them on top of the gum for 30 minutes. Once the gum has frozen, use a spoon to lift up the gum and carefully cut the stuck strands of the carpet.

Dishwasher Detergent vs. Grease

Dishwasher detergents are ideal for cutting grease. Just mix a few drops of anti-grease detergent and water together, and spray it onto the stain. Wash it and blot it away after some time.
