Stains Will Run From You When You Do This...  by: Anne Willis No matter what type of carpet stain remover you are using, follow these instructions to prevent the unmentionable. First of all try scraping out the stain with a dull knife. Sometimes the stain only affects the surface of your carpet. By scraping it out you're saving time and money. If the stain is too deep, then the risk of scraping might be too high. Next up, carefully read the instructions that came with the commercial remover. These substances are heavy duty stuff so it is highly recommended to follow their instructions to the letter. Be sure that there's nothing inflammable near by. Carpet stain removers must be handled with care. Since these products are chemical based you should protect your hands. A couple of dishwashing gloves are perfect for protection. Try to keep any pet away from the action zone. These creatures are curious and would eat about anything in sight. Inform everyone in the vicinity that a stain removal procedure is underway. This way you avoid any potential accidents. Many carpet stains won't go off with the first pass. In that case keep repeating the process until satisfied. No matter what type of carpet stain remover you are using, always finish with water. This benign liquid is a universal cleaner known for its unique properties. The trick is to stack up a series of towels and immerse them in water. Then take them and put them on top of the remaining stain. Apply some sort of weight to pressure downwards. Let it press for a few minutes. It should suck up the rest of the stain. If it doesn't, then try to soak the towels in warm or hot water and repeat the process. An important thing to note: use white towels. Colored towels may discolor and make things worse. About The Author Anne Willis has won numerous battles against all types of stains.
