Quick Reference Guide for Common Spills and Stains
This guide offers cleaning difficulty level of the following stains:
Alcohol/Red Wine
Drinking a glass of red wine after a long, hard day at work is the epitome of luxurious necessity. However, even a little spill on your carpet can leave an unsightly stain – ruining the look of your expensive floor furnishing. It’s difficult to remove a wine stain, once it has dried.
Coffee
People live such busy lives nowadays that it feels totally normal to rush everything and everywhere. Sometimes our clothes and furniture suffer consequences of this – in the form of food stains marring the fabric of a favorite couch or your office carpet!
Coffee stains should be treated (spot-cleaned) the minute spill occurs. Once dry, it can become difficult to remove the ugly brownish stain.
Urine
Accidents happen. Even your trained pet can mess up the carpet by urinating on it! You should be extra vigilant if you have a puppy or small child at home. Fresh urine is easy to remove but often homeowners don’t realize their pet has had an accident. In addition to the sickly yellow looking stain, urine odor can make your entire house smell like a fish market.
Chocolate
Picture this: your 5-year-old is eating chocolate, most of which has melted and smeared on her fingers.
Instead of wiping her chocolate-laden hands on the provided napkin, she runs them all over the white and furry carpet of the living room. Removing chocolate stains is difficult even when fresh. First you’ll have to scrape excess chocolate without smearing it further. There is no guarantee that the carpet will be completely clean after using a DIY solution.
Some other hard to remove and common stains are:
- Glue
- Chewing Gum
- Soft Drinks
- Ice Cream
- Nail Polish
