In this blog entry, the professional New Jersey carpet stain cleaning team here at Carpetline detail the types of food or drinks that generally do the most damage to carpets and rugs.
Worst Kinds of Carpet Food or Drink Stains
Red Wine and Grape Juice
Grape juice and red wine can cause serious damage to carpets, rugs, and every type of fabric. These fills should be immediately cleaned up and treated with great care. The natural dying capabilities of grape juice makes grape juice and wine stains very tough to remove. These stains should be removed by soaking up as much liquid as possible as quickly as possible, and then using a damp rag to reduce as much of the stain as possible before introducing a heavy-duty stain remover cleaning agent. However, even after you do these tactics, you might notice a slight stain, which is why our professional carpet cleaning services are available at all times to assist you.
Tomato Sauces
Classic tomato sauce, or really any food with a tomato based sauce can make horrible stains on carpets or rugs. These dull red stains are very ugly especially when found on light-colored fabrics. acting quickly is essential for removing tomato based sauce stains, and cold water is the essential key to prevent tomato stains from setting into carpet or rug fabric. Using hot water on these stains will set the stain, making it very very difficult to remove.
Dyed Foods or Drinks
Food or drinks with dyes or food coloring like juices, Kool-Aid, fruit punch, candy, and more can leave very difficult stains on carpets or rugs. The faster you clean the spill up, the less she will be present to stain your carpet or rug. Treat these stains the same way you would treat a red wine or grape juice stain.
Coffee Stains
Coffee stains need to be handled as quickly as possible and then treated with a specialty cleaning agent to prevent stains from setting in deeply into the carpet/rug fibers and backing.
