By Charlie Kaoud Watching a glass of wine spill over your favorite rug is a sight that's best forgotten. However there's no need to panic, most stains when treated quickly will disappear in no time. Some stains if left untreated can ruin your rug, but by following the advice given here, getting stains on your rug won't seem so bad after all. Ready...Set.....Clean! When a rug has stained, the first thing you should do is clean it as fast as possible. The sooner you start working on a stain, the better chance you have of removing it and saving your rug. If the stain is liquid based use an absorbent cloth or paper towel and wipe up the stain as best you can. If it's food or dirt, scrape the particles with an object such as a spoon, and than start wiping. Don't actually rub the stain; instead blot at it so you don't rub the stain deeper into the rug. With solid particles, using a vacuum cleaner is effective method of clearing the stain area. Wet It After absorbing as much as the stain as possible, the next step is to get a cold wet cloth and blot at the stain again. Do this until you are sure that no more of the stain will disappear. Use Cleaning Product The next step is to use a cleaning agent to get to the core of the stain. If you don't have any products from the shop, you can use several household products like vinegar, detergent or nail polish remover. (Vinegar) Mix 1 part vinegar and 1 part water (Detergent) Use a non-bleach washing detergent mixed with water. (Nail Polish Remover) Use a non-oily type Wet It Again It's a good idea to rinse the stain just incase there is residue from the cleaning product used. The Final Touch You last step is absorb any excess moisture. Use paper toweling or cloths and use a heavy object to weigh them down. Leave the weight overnight and in the morning, your carpet should look good as new. Good luck with your stain removing. By following the above guide your carpet should last you many years even if a few stains get in the way. Please remember to always test a tiny portion of your rug for color run before attempting any of the steps listed above.
