-Blot stains instead of rubbing. Whether you're dealing with a tough beverage stain or a pet stain, blotting at the soiled area is key to ensuring that you don't accidentally work the stain further into the carpet fabric. Use a cleaning solution and gently blot at the stain with a towel, sponge or rag. Be sure to blot from the outside in, instead of vice versa, as blotting outwards can inadvertently cause the stain to spread.
-Use club soda or shaving cream on stains. Many people know to use club soda on particularly tough stains, such as wine spills. Start by blotting the stain with club soda on a cloth and, for bad stains, spray one part white vinegar with one part water and let it soak into the stain for about fifteen minutes. Rinse with warm water and watch as those tough stains fade with the extra care. Additionally, shaving cream can remove nearly any carpet stain! Simply spray the shaving cream onto the stain, let it set for about thirty minutes, gently wipe it away and follow up with the vinegar and water mixture if necessary.
-Schedule regular steam cleans. Having carpeted areas of your North Shore real estate steam-cleaned by professionals on a regular basis is essential to keeping the flooring appearing new, clean and fresh. Steam cleaning allows water and a specially formulated cleaning solution to penetrate the carpet fiber to the bottom, and is an excellent way to remove dirt, debris, built-up oil and grease, and other particles that can take their toll on your carpet.
