You frown at the sight of all the stains that is now covering your carpet. You spot orange juice stains and grape juice stains and even some dye (which you have no idea came from where) all over your carpet, creating a somewhat disconcerting ugly and multi-colored mess over the otherwise elegant-looking carpet. Now, you’re trying to figure out how to get those ugly stains out.
This article could hopefully help you do just that, so feel free to read further.
First things first - deal with the stain immediately. This is important and this implies that as soon as you see the stain, clean up as much of it as you can. Do this in a blotting or pressing motion, and don’t wipe or scrub. This is to keep the stain from spreading.
If that doesn’t completely do the trick, try these solutions:
For juice stains, dampen a sponge. Make sure not to make it too wet as you don’t want to make the stain spread. Spray a little bit of lukewarm water over stain. Once again, not too much. Dab the stain with the sponge. Afterwards, press paper towels over the stain. Do this until the stain visibly lessens. If that still doesn’t completely eradicate the stain, get a non-bleaching detergent and mix it with warm water. Put that mixture on a clean cloth that’s a little damp and dab the stain with that cloth. Use the detergent and water solution on paper towels and continue blotting on the stain until color is no longer being transferred to the paper towel. Rinse the carpet and leave it to dry.
Remove dye by using a solution made out of liquid dishwashing soap and warm water. Place that solution over a clean white cloth and press that over the stain. Let the solution soak into the stain for a while before creating a solution made out of one part vinegar and two parts warm water. Use this solution to blot over the stain again. This process should be done from the outside in of the stain. After the stain disappears, rinse the area with cold water before leaving it to dry or blotting it with dry cloth.
Hope this helps rid you of those stains!

I'm so grateful you posted about the topic. Personally, I get mad seeing stains in carpets and rugs in our living room. I don't like carpet cleaning tasks, that's why. There were times that I still need to do the cleaning myself, so having these tips is helpful. Next month, my wife and I decided to just hire carpet cleaners, Kansas City, MO carpet cleaning company employees. It helps us on time management knowing that both of us are busy on our clothing business. Many carpet cleaners, Kansas City area, service providers are dependable. The quality of their services is superb.
