This Surprising Cleaning Hack Will Help You Clean Up Any Kind of Carpet Stain

Carpets are perfect for every season. They’re warm for the winters and soft for the summers. They’re super comfortable to lie on and incredibly cosy. Carpets are a long time purchase, and they give a lovely feel to the whole house. Their maintenance is essential to make sure the quality remains excellent. Accidental spills and unfortunate vacuuming incidents can ruin the yearly maintenance within seconds. For your ease, we’ve compiled a list of the best carpet cleaning hacks to make sure your carpet remains flawless and smooth.

Use An Iron To Remove Stains

Stain removal has been thoroughly experimented with by homeowners around the world. Removing stains through an iron requires you to have patience since the whole process takes three time-consuming but easy steps.
First, you need to focus on the stains and get rid of the tough hard particles on the carpet. To get rid of these particles, you need to vacuum it to make the stain more visible and easier to work on.

Next, you will need to mix three parts of water and 1 part of vinegar to create a mixture to treat the stain. This mixture will be sprayed or left onto the carpet stain for 5 minutes. Let it sit and work it’s way through.
Finally, place a towel on the stained area and press a heated iron on top of it. The heat and pressure from the iron will transfer the stain onto the towel instead. This will easily remove the stains.

Never Rub Carpet Stains!

Whenever you see dirt, your first instinct is to rub it away. You do it when washing dishes, polishing shoes, washing sheets and so on. But with carpets, it works differently. The more you rub the stain on the carpet, the more it will spread around. This can likely lead to discolouration of the carpet. This is why blotting is always recommended instead of rubbing. It doesn’t matter what cleaning solution you’re using if you rub the stain, it won’t work effectively in removing it. Blotting will help the liquid to absorb the stain onto the cloth. Blotting inwards and outwards will prevent the stain from spreading around. The direction of blotting matters.

Make Your Very Own Organic Deep Cleaner 

You can hoard onto many detergents and cleaners as you like, but if you’re trying to stay organic and lead an environmentally friendly life, then making your own organic deep cleaner is easy and affordable.

Mix a quarter cup of Hydrogen Peroxide, half a cup of white vinegar, two tablespoons of dish soap, two tablespoons of fabric softener and one litre of hot water. Once mixed, set aside to cool down. Now you have your very own organic cleaner at hand that works as good as the chemically made ones. You get the same results. Just spray it onto any deep stain you want to and let it work its magic.
