How to remove coffee stains from carpet

An integral part of your everyday morning routine, sipping a cup of coffee perks you up and helps you get ready to tackle the day.

However this time around, you’ve taken a trip or been bumped by your kid – and oh no, you’ve split half your mug on your living room carpet.

There are some things you should do immediately in order to minimise the damage – so act quick! We recommend:

• Use a dry paper towel or dry cloth to absorb as much of the spill as possible
• Create a formula of baking soda, vinegar, and mild dishwashing liquid and apply it to the stain
• Leave it until it dries and try wiping the stain

If this doesn’t work, you might consider buying a solution that has a bleaching element to it

However, this can also cause even more damage to your carpet

If you’re like most people, you don’t really know what formulas, solutions, and liquids will and will not cause damage to your carpets

So beyond mopping it up, we recommend calling a professional carpet cleaner in Melbourne like MasterClean Carpet Care!

How to remove red wine from carpet

How to remove food stains from carpet

We all love a bit of extra stringy cheese on our pizza, or chunky salsa on our nachos… that is, until it falls from our plate and lands right in the centre of your living room carpet!

Food stains are no doubt frustrating, and while most dry foods dropped on the floor can be easily picked up (with only a few crumbs needing to be swept or vacuumed away), “wet” foods are a whole other story!

So what do you do when you drop sauce, ice cream, or baby food on your carpet?

• Create a mixture of baking soda, vinegar, and warm water and apply it liberally on the stain
• Let it dry and then vacuum or wipe it away
• If the colour had faded but is still visible, you might like to repeat the exercise
• If this fails, call a professional carpet cleaner for outstanding results!

How to remove ink stains from carpet

Whether it is a refillable ink pen or a permanent marker, ink stains leave an ugly mess on our favourite carpets!

The key is, as you’ve probably gathered by now, is to act fast to stop those marks from permanently staining your carpet. So what should you try?

Try these homemade solutions that can remove those ink stains:

• Put a small amount of alcohol or nail polish remover liquid on the mark
• Be very careful to localise the liquid on the stain only
• You might like to apply with a cotton wool ball or cotton bud
• Firmly dab the stain and see if the colour fades
• Another alternative to nail polish remover is hairspray

It’s the alcohol in the hairspray that works hard to loosen and lift an ink stain from carpets. A nifty home cleaning tip to remember! In fact, the cheaper the hairspray, the more likely it is to contain more alcohol. Not good for your hair, but great for removing ink stains!

If all else fails and you’re concerned about your carpet or a favourite rug, stop wasting time and call MasterClean Carpet Care for an effective stain-free solution.

How to remove blood from carpet

Accidents happen, and even something as small as a cut can lead to blood spots on your carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture.

Act immediately and don’t let blood stains linger on your carpet for too long.

So what household trick can you try?

Dried blood stain

• If the stain is older and has dried, you can use an old toothbrush or steel wool to loosen it
• Then, mix hand washing detergent with water and apply it to the stain using a clean cloth
• Blot the stain until the blood no longer transfers to the cloth

Wet blood stain

• Blot up the stain immediately with paper towel or a clean cloth
• Apply heavy pressure to the area, but do not wipe across as this will spread the stain
• Spray cold water (NOT hot – this will set the stain!) and pat with a clean cloth
• Do this in small sections to avoid spreading the stain

Worried about damaging your carpet permanently? We understand, that’s why we always urge you to call us promptly if your home remedies show few signs of working.
