Although carpet is a great option for most homes you need to be ready to attack any spills, spots and stains that will happen. You will end up dealing with stains at some point so it is good to know the best method to treat them. There are different techniques for certain stains that will help to remove them properly. Steam Magic Carpet Cleaning outlines what you can do to remove hard to treat stains.
How Do You Get Wax Out of Carpet?
One of the ways that homeowners create a nice smell in the house is to heat up wax squares that are scented. This can be done with a candle but it can also be done with a wax heater that uses no flame at all. When the wax spills on the carpet it can seem hard to remove. The great thing is that the wax can be removed if you use the correct method. You want to have a brown paper sack that you can usually get for school lunches. You also want to use your hot clothes iron. You lay the bag over the wax then use the heated iron over the space. This will heat the wax and pull it from the carpet and attach it to the bag. You can use a second bag if the area is larger or the wax is thick. You want to make sure that you are ready to clean the stain or spot when it occurs.
How to Get Gum Out of Carpet
Another issue that you can come across is if you get chewed up gum on your carpet. There are several ways that gum can get in your home. You want to make sure that you know the best way to clean the gum from the carpet. The gum will be sticky and hard to remove that is why you need to use the ice cube method. You place some ice in a bag then place it over the gum. This will harden the gum so that you can work with it and remove it from the carpet. This process can be difficult and take some patience but you want to make sure that you are always working while the gum is frozen. You can chip away the gum then place the ice back over the spot. Once it is cold the gum can continue to be chipped away.
How to Remove Dog Urine Stain & Odor from Carpet
If you have a pet that stays in the house there are chances that they will have an accident. Trying to clean dog urine form your carpet can be difficult because there are two parts. One is that there is a stain and one is that there is an odor that remains if it is not treated. You want to make sure that you clean the stain with a cleaning solution such as warm water that is mixed with mild dish soap. Then you want to use baking soda to cover the space so that it has the chance to pull the odor from the carpet. The baking soda is then removed and vacuumed so that the odor does not remain around.
