3 Carpet Cleaning Tips that Will Save Your Thanksgiving
November 27, 2019
With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, it’s a smart idea to have a
handful of carpet cleaning tips at your disposal. Everyone in your
family loves a festive holiday get-together, but the cleanup? Not so
much. And as delicious as it may be, a Thanksgiving dinner can do some
severe damage to your home’s carpet. Here’s some carpet cleaning tips
to keep in mind as Turkey Day draws near.
Your Carpet Cleaning Supplies List
To be prepared for the worst on Thanksgiving, make sure to keep some
necessary carpet cleaning supplies on deck. Carpet cleaning can be tricky
without the right supplies. Here’s a simple list that should cover most
types of spills. If none of these supplies work, consider calling an
expert
from Hydro-Clean Certified Restoration to get the job done!
Clean, white cotton towels
Dawn Dish Soap
Cornstarch
White wine
White vinegar
Spray bottle
How to Remove Gravy
If you’ve spilled thick turkey gravy onto your
carpet, you might be wondering how to get it out quick. Remove as much of the
gravy as you can from your carpet using a spoon or other utensil. Next,
sprinkle a bit of cornstarch onto the spilled gravy, and let that soak for
about 15 minutes. Then vacuum or sweep up the cornstarch, which should
have absorbed up the gravy and grease. Next, use a half and half mixture
of white vinegar and water in your spray bottle to clean up the spot of
the spill.
How to Remove Cranberry Sauce
Any cranberry spill (juice or sauce) can leave the worst stains, so this
is one that you’ll want to address instantly. First, mix one tablespoon of
Dawn dish soap with two cups of cold water. Then, using a clean cotton
cloth, sponge up the stain with the solution. Blot until the liquid is
soaked up. Continue sponging and blotting until the stain is gone or is no
longer absorbed into your cloth.
How to Remove Red Wine
Just like cranberry, red wine is notorious for leaving nasty stains.
Believe it or not, though, the best way to clean red wine out of a carpet
is with… white wine! First, soak up the red wine from your carpet by
placing a clean cotton towel over the spill and standing on top of it.
Your full body weight will apply more pressure to the stain and absorb
more of the liquid. Lastly, put some white wine in a spray bottle and mist
it over the red wine stain. Rinse and repeat
