Carpet Cleaning Stain Treatment Tips

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: SaniCare Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning

Preserving a spot free carpet is much easier if its been treated with a high quality fabric protector. No carpet however, is stain proof. Several problems can lead to irreversible discoloration of the carpet fiber. Among some of these are the dye in some food and beverages, bleaches, acids, caustic compounds found in everyday ordinary cleaning products. Pet urine and even household dust (particularly dust filtration stains near walls) can, in the long run, permanently stain your carpet.

For best results, swift treatment to spots and spills is often the difference between spots easily eliminated and irreversible stains. If your carpet has been treated with a protective fiber treatment, it should respond successfully to straightforward spot cleaning treatments. You'll be impressed at how easy spot removal can be if you closely follow the simple actions laid out within this spot removal guide.
