Introduction
When moving out of a rental property, ensuring the carpets are spotless is essential to securing your full deposit. Stubborn stains can make a bad impression during the final inspection, potentially leading to deductions. At K&S Carpet Cleaning Burgess Hill, we provide professional stain removal and carpet cleaning services in Burgess Hill, Sussex, helping tenants leave their carpets in pristine condition.
Common Tough Carpet Stains and How to Remove Them
1. Red Wine Stains
How to Treat:
- Blot the stain immediately with a clean cloth to absorb excess liquid.
- Mix a solution of mild washing-up liquid and warm water.
- Dab the stain gently with a sponge, working from the outside in.
- If the stain persists, apply a small amount of white vinegar and blot until removed.
2. Coffee and Tea Stains
How to Treat:
- Blot the spill with a dry paper towel to soak up as much liquid as possible.
- Mix a solution of baking soda and water to create a paste.
- Gently rub the paste into the stain and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Wipe away the paste with a damp cloth and allow the area to dry.
3. Pet Stains and Odours
How to Treat:
- Blot up any excess moisture with a paper towel.
- Apply a mixture of white vinegar and water to neutralise the odour.
- Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over the area and let it sit for several hours before vacuuming.
- For persistent stains, consider professional deep cleaning to remove embedded residue.
4. Ink and Marker Stains
How to Treat:
- Dab the stain with a cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover.
- Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain further.
- Blot the area until the ink is lifted, then rinse with cold water.
- Dry thoroughly by blotting with a clean towel.
5. Grease and Oil Stains
How to Treat:
- Sprinkle cornstarch or baking soda over the stain to absorb excess grease.
- Let it sit for 15 minutes before vacuuming.
- Use a mild dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water to break down any remaining grease.
