How to Remove Stubborn Stains from Your Carpet: Quick Tips from Fresh Nest Cleaning
Carpets can take a beating, from spilled coffee to pet accidents, but don’t worry—stubborn stains can be tackled with the right approach! Here’s how to remove those tough stains without the stress:
1. Act Quickly
The sooner you address a stain, the easier it will be to remove. Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth to absorb excess liquid.
2. Club Soda for Wine or Beer
Pour club soda directly onto the stain and blot with a cloth. The carbonation helps lift the stain from the fibers.
3. Baking Soda for Odors and Grease
Sprinkle baking soda over the stain and let it sit for 15–20 minutes. Vacuum it up and repeat if needed.
4. Dish Soap for Food Stains
Mix 1 tablespoon of dish soap with 2 cups of warm water. Dab the solution onto the stain, then blot with a cloth until it disappears.
5. White Vinegar for Tough Spots
Combine equal parts white vinegar and water, apply to the stain, and blot. Vinegar helps break down grease, odors, and discoloration.
6. Hydrogen Peroxide for Deep Stains
For deep or old stains (like blood), mix 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 2 parts water. Apply gently to the stain and blot. Always test in an inconspicuous area first!
7. Don’t Rub—Always Blot
Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can push it deeper into the fibers. Always blot from the outside in.
