Here is a quick way in which you can treat stains at home. Grab these ingredients from the local store and get started.
Things You Will Need:
Acetone
Surface Cleaner or soap
Baking Soda
Paper Towels
Method:
*CAUTION: Acetone is a very aggressive solvent. Swatch test on a small portion of the carpet first so that it does not harm its color. It is also highly flammable, wear eye protection and gloves.
- Pour a few drops of acetone on the stain, just enough to cover it. You will see that the stain starts to diminish as soon as you do that.
Blot it with a paper towel. Put the paper towel on the subjected area and press it with your fingers several times. Keep repeating this step until you get most of the moisture out.
Depending upon your carpet, just doing the above might remove the stain altogether. If not, continue with the next steps.
- Depending upon the size and intensity of your stain, keep pouring more acetone and then blotting it with a paper towel.
- When you notice that the stain is not getting any lighter, spray some surface cleaner or rub some soap onto the stain and continue blotting.
- If you are still left with very vague, nearly unnoticeable remains of the stain, spray some more of the surface cleaner, sprinkle some baking soda, and rub it into the strands of the carpet with your fingers. Top this off with more surface cleaner and get back to blotting all this moisture with paper towels.
- Keep repeating this process until you get all of that stain out. Let it dry afterward and you may notice some white residue from the baking soda, which can be fixed by wiping it with some carpet cleaner. If you have any dried residue left, use a vacuum cleaner.
- Your spotless, even-colored carpet is ready to be the star of the room.
Alternatives:
Some other alternatives that work are rubbingalcohol and coldwater. For this, wet the stain with cold water, spray a fair amount of hairspray on it and add a few drops of rubbing alcohol. Rub this mixture on the stain and it may do the trick.
