Dye stains
22/03/10 09:15
Red dye stain is one of the worst stains to ever have
on a carpet. This stain is often permanent. There are
many types of spot removers used to attempt to take
out a red stain. Heat transfer products give the best
results but nothing is 100%. The best thing to do
when you get a red stain is to use a wet dry vac to
pull up any material in the rug, then use paper
towels to blot up the remaining liquid. Then I would
use a solution of a teaspoon of dish soap and 1 quart
of water. Apply the soap to the towel and work the
stain from the outside to the center. If the color is
not coming out stop and call a professional. You
never want to make the stain larger or permanent by
dumping a massive amount of solutions into the
carpeting.
Old wives tales about when to clean your carpet.

What
about the old wives tale about waiting as long as
possible to clean?
Years ago people thought it was best to wait as long as possible before cleaning. See, here's the truth about steam cleaning.
When professional carpet cleaners started using the steam cleaning method, large amounts of water were used. And yes, sometimes water so hot that it would steam. These cleaning pioneers often used harsh cleaning agents. And even worse, so much water was used that the carpet stayed soaking wet. Really wet carpet also meant that dirty water still remained in the carpet.
So a few days later, all the spots could wick up from the backing. Some looked worse than before.
I'd like to tell you these problems are gone, but unfortunately they're not. Even today there are uneducated carpet cleaners using harsh chemicals and leaving carpets wet for days.

General Spotting

Don’t forget to Blot! The first rule in
spotting is to remove any heavy material, then blot!
To properly blot get a roll of paper towels and a
garbage can. Take a couple of paper towels and fold
them, set them on top of the stain and then stand on
the towels, allowing the liquid to be absorbed into
the towels, put damp towels in garbage can and repeat
process until towels are dry after standing on the
towels.
This process can get rid of a number of stains and problems all by itself.
