You have probably heard
a thousand different techniques for stain
removal - indeed techniques are important.
The following is a simple tutorial that
covers the majority of common household
stains. Using carbonated water in place
of normal water has very similar effects
and will not harm the rug.
1) Act immediately.
2) Scrape off any solids or lumps with a table knife or spoon.
3) Do not rub or scrub the stain which may permanently distort the carpet fibres.
4) Soak up the stain with clean white towels or paper towels by pressing on stain & keep repeating with a fresh towel surface until no more stain transfers to towel.
5) For all water soluble stains such as
coffee, wine, soft drinks, food stuffs;
use Turco
Persian's Carpet Stain Remover, or
mix 1 tspn of laundry detergent with 8
oz of warm water. Dab solution onto stain
and repeat above absorption with towelling.
Repeat procedure as long as stain is coming
out. Be careful not to oversoak rug.
6) When no more stain is coming onto the
towel, get a fresh bath towel, fold it
3-4 times in half & place on stained
area. Place a telephone book on top of
towel. Leave for 24-36 hrs.
For Urine
1) Soak up immediately.
2) Dab on straight solution of white vinegar if stain is still wet to neutralize fresh urine.
3) Repeat folded towel procedure as above.
For Gum, Grease,
Shoe Polish and Other Oily Stains
1) Spot clean with odourless mineral spirits (readily available at hardware stores)
2) Put on towel and wipe the spot
3) Do not soak rug
Of course, if professional
help is needed for tough stains on any carpet,
