How To Remove Spots From Carpet? [DIY Methods]

  1. Remove any solids or excess spills from the carpet’s surface.
  2. Dampen the area with a small amount of water. If it doesn’t affect the stain, use lukewarm water instead of hot. If the site is extensive, fill a bucket with water and dab it on with a wet cloth.
  3. Use the appropriate cleaning/stain removal product to the spot.
  4. Use a clean, soft cloth or paper towel to blot the area by pressing gently on the stained area. You will see the stain transfer onto the towel as you implement it.
  5. Turn the cloth frequently, so you always utilise a clean towel portion.
  6. Reapply the stain remover and water as required. Continue to blot away until the stain is removed.
  7. Rinse the area with clean water and blot it away once the stain is gone,
  8. Press clean, dry cloths over the area to dry. Apply constant pressure until the moisture is soaked up from the carpet fibres.
  9. Let the area air dry completely.
  10. If the cleaned area’s texture appears different after cleaning, vacuum it to return the original look.

DIY Spot And Stain Removal Tips & Guide

  • Whenever choosing stain removers, consider the type of carpeting and the carpet colour.
  • Stay away from scrubbing or rubbing the carpet while cleaning. Thus, it may push the stain further into the carpet fibres. Indeed, the scrubbing can damage the fibres, making the area noticeable even after removing the spots and stains.
