Stain Removal From CarpetsFirst of all you really need to invest in a good quality vacuum cleaner with good suction. This can be quite an investment, so you will need to do research on the best type of vacuum for your needs and the size of your house.Vacuum your carpets on a regular basis and you will remove dirt and allergens. Wipe up spills as soon as possible. Many spills will attract dirt and create unsightly stains on your carpet. Also, larger spills may go down into the pad therefore making it harder to remove a stain. Dirt will become almost like a magnet to these sticky spill spots.
Most carpets today come with stain-resistant treatments, so even blood can be removed if you get it right away. The longer you delay, the more difficult removing any carpet stains becomes, and there are no stain-proof carpets. With blood, the process of coagulation makes it especially hard to get the stain out if it is old.
Rinse and extract the blood with cold water. Use just a little at a time, so you don’t spread the stain. Hot water will set the stain, possibly making it permanent, so use only cold water. Just add water, then blot it up with a clean white cloth or white paper towels. Alternately, you can suck the solution out with a shop-vac, which means less of a chance of spreading the stain.Try to remove the remaining stain with a solution of a few drops of Dawn dish washing detergent in a cup of cold water. Work it into the blood stain, but be careful not to spread the stain or rub so hard that you damage the carpet fibers. Damaged fibers hold stains.
You can remove ink stains from carpet using rubbing alcohol. It will work better if it is 90% isopropyl alcohol, but you can try the ones that are 70% if that’s what’s available. In either case, carpet ink stains will come out more easily if you catch them quickly.
First of all, don’t pour rubbing alcohol on your carpet. Apply it to a white cotton cloth and dab the stain carefully, so you don’t spread the ink. Suck it out after a few minutes using a shop-vac, or, if you use a cloth, blot carefully. Don’t rub! Repeat the process until you remove the stains from the carpet, or until you get no more transfer to the cloth. In the latter case it may not be possible to remove the stain completely, although you can try a commercial cleaning solvent.
