Old carpet stains can sometimes be a huge problem. Once a certain amount of time has passed, you are more likely to forget the exact provenance of a stain, and therefore it can be an impossible task to try and clean it up. The same is true if you move into a new home and are faced with a suspicious selection of dubious stains on the carpet unless you can identify the source, it can be difficult to know how to remove a variety of specific stains from the carpet. Getting information regarding removing old stains from carpeting can be vital for those who would like to acquire their carpets in excellent form.
Before you try using cleaning agents on old stains, it is a good idea to have a good go at identifying the source of the stain. In some cases, this will not be too difficult: if the stain smells of a dog or cat, it is a safe bet that the stain is a biological one. Other common carpet stains that are easily identifiable include nail varnish, paint, and milk.
The best approach to try if you have discovered a few old stains on your carpet is to give the carpet a good thorough clean. A deep clean might be enough to remove any stains caused by general dirt and grime, plus it will probably remove any biological stains caused by food and drink spillage. Hire a wet-dry carpet-cleaning machine from the local DIY store and spend a few hours cleaning your carpet. Alternatively, hire a Professional Carpet Cleaning Perth company and let them do the hard work while you relax with a good book and a glass of wine.
Removing old stains left after a deep cleaning of the carpet will require a process of elimination. Firstly, try using stain removal agents designed to treat water-soluble stains such as food and drink, feces, and urine. Take a solution of white vinegar and water and apply it to the stain, blotting up the excess with a clean cloth or paper towel. A weak ammonia solution can also be used on water-soluble stains.
Stains caused by pet urine might take more effort to shift. If pet urine is left untreated for a long time, the enzymes in the urine will react with bacteria in the carpet and cause a nasty and very pungent aroma. Once this process has occurred, you will need to buy a special enzyme treatment solution to kill the smell. You may also need to replace the carpet underlay and clean the subfloor beneath.
Other common stains found on carpets include wax, oil, grease and tar, nail varnish, and chewing gum, all of which require different treatment methods. Oil-based stains can be removed by placing some brown paper on top of the area and using a warm iron to draw the oil out of the carpet and into the paper. Chewing gum should be chilled using ice cubes and scraped away with a blunt knife, and nail varnish can be treated with nail polish remover.
