Before you start panicking about the stains on your carpet, we’ll help you with some tried and tested techniques which will help you get rid of the toughest stains from your carpet. One thing that you should remember before cleaning your carpet is that, never ever scrub or rub the stain – it will only get deeper making it tougher to remove.

Carpet stains can be of many types, some are water soluble, some can be removed with special water solutions, while others need wax, oil, etc to be removed. Depending on the type of stains we’ll discuss about the methods that can help you remove stains easily:
Tea and Coffee Stains: Such stains make the carpet look filthy and leave behind a yellowish-brown mark that is very well noticeable. To effectively remove tea and coffee stains, you can use soda water or beer. If there is a considerable amount of spillage, blot the moisture with help of clean paper towels. Make sure you keep changing the towels as they get saturated with the beverage. Then pour some beer or soda water on the stain and use a clean cloth to blot the area repeatedly. Finally rinse with water to get rid of the extra soda or beer.
Red Wine Stains: Use soda water or white wine immediately after spilling red wine. This dilutes the colour. Then using a clean cloth dab the area gently to soak up all the moisture. Once done, cover the area with salt and vacuum clean once dry.
Pet Stains: Pet owners have to face this many times and it can be frustrating. Odour removal can also be a challenging task. White vinegar or white wine can be used for removing the stains while bicarbonate of soda can effectively remove the odour. Pour vinegar or white wine on the stain to soak the stain and then add little bicarbonate. Cover it with a bowl and leave it for some time. Vacuum clean once dry.
Grease and oil stains: Though grease and oil stains are very stubborn, you can get rid of them completely with the correct stain removal methods. Shaving Cream works wonders on such stains. Put some shaving cream on greasy stains and leave it for drying. Clean with a cloth once dried.
