Depending on what category your stains fall into, you may need to use different water temperatures, stain removers, and removal methods to make sure that every trace of the stain is removed. Stains are basically of two types: * Water Based Stains: - These include alcohol, blood, fruit juices, wine, milk, soft drinks and water based furniture polish stains. * Oil Based Stains: - These include butter, cooking oil, chocolate, crayons, mayonnaise, candle wax, and black grease stains. These are relatively difficult to get rid of, than water based stains. Whatever may be the type of stain, always remember to blot and nor rub stains away. Some basic carpet stain removal tips are given below. * Scrape out the semi - solid or solid stains, using a plastic spatula and vacuum out the stain as much as possible. Do not use a knife or other sharp - edged tools. * The liquid stain should be blotted up immediately before it can seep into the carpet fibres. Use paper towels or tissues for this purpose. * Always test the cleaning solution on a small patch of the stain, to see if it works or is causing any damage to the carpet. * When using a solution for stain removal, apply it to the stain using a cloth. * When removing large stains, start working from the ends, towards the base, so that the stain does not spread further. * Never use a brush or rub harshly to remove the stain. It will only cause more damage to the carpet. * Be sure not to over wet the carpet while rinsing and cleaning. * For removal of ink stains, clean with some lemon juice. * Coffee stains can be removed by cleaning immediately with a mixture of 1 tablespoon water with 1 tablespoon glycerine. * To remove special water based stains like urine, coffee and tea stains, use a mild water based stain removal cleaning solution, like a mixture of vinegar with lukewarm water or hydrogen peroxide with lukewarm water.
