As much as we try to avoid them, stains happen. Whether it’s a spill from a glass of red wine or a muddy paw print from your furry friend, stains can leave your carpets and upholstery looking unsightly. But fear not, with a few simple steps and the right stain treatment, you can easily remove even the most stubborn of stains. Here’s how:

 

Act fast: The longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove. So, as soon as you notice a stain, act fast. Blot up any excess liquid with a clean, white cloth, being careful not to rub the stain in further.

Identify the stain: Different stains require different treatments, so it’s important to identify the type of stain you’re dealing with. Common stains include coffee, wine, pet urine, and food stains.

Treat the stain: Once you’ve identified the stain, it’s time to treat it. Here are some specific stain treatments:

Coffee: Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with one tablespoon of dish soap and two cups of warm water. Blot the stain with the solution, then rinse with warm water and blot again.

Wine: Mix one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide with one tablespoon of dish soap and two cups of warm water. Blot the stain with the solution, then rinse with warm water and blot again.

Pet urine: Blot up as much urine as possible, then apply an enzymatic cleaner specifically designed for pet stains. Follow the instructions on the cleaner and allow it to sit for the recommended amount of time before blotting up any excess liquid.

Food stains: Mix one tablespoon of dish soap with two cups of warm water. Blot the stain with the solution, then rinse with warm water and blot again.

Rinse and blot: After treating the stain, rinse the area with warm water and blot up any excess liquid with a clean, white cloth. Be sure to avoid rubbing the stain, as this can cause it to spread.

Repeat if necessary: If the stain is still visible, repeat the treatment process until it’s fully removed.
