In the summer most people are looking for ways to keep cooled off. One of the reason that your home will be overheated is when you use the oven or stove to cook. Most people will look for foods that don’t need to be heated up and on the top of the list is a nice clean salad. It is a great way to make a meal without heating the house. You can use the lettuce and veggies from the fridge to chop up. Then toss some dressing in the mix and you are ready to go. Now that you have your family walking around with a bowl of salad it is a good time to learn how to clean any messes that they might make with it. The main part of the salad that can cause a stain on your carpet is the dressing. It is a good idea to know the best method on how to get the stain out.

DM Carpet Cleaning Outlines Steps for How to Remove Salad Dressing Stains Off of Carpet

Remove Excess Salad Dressing Stains from Carpet: The first thing you need to do is of course start working on the stain as soon as you can. It is the best way to ensure that you get as much of the stain off as you can. Then you need to work on getting the excess dressing off the ground. You can do that by using a spoon to scoop as much of the dressing as you can. You want to rinse the spoon off and repeat the process to get the majority of the salad dressing off the carpet. You can also use a clean cloth to dab at the spot to pull what you can away without allowing it to spread out any further. This is what you need to do to prepare to clean the spot.
Absorb Moisture from Carpet: Now that you have removed the excess from the carpet you need to then reduce the moisture that is still left behind. You can use baking soda on the carpet that has a natural absorbent aspect. You should apply a layer of the baking soda on the spot and allow it to sit on the space for around 10 minutes. During this time it will soak up the moisture and trap it in the baking soda. Then use the vacuum to pull the baking soda away from the carpet exposing what is left of the stain.
Clean the Carpet Stain: You need to make sure that you use a solution that is able to attack this specific type of spill. The oil that is in the salad is what makes it somewhat difficult to treat. You can use your own cleaning solution. Mix warm water, vinegar and dish washing detergent that can be soaked into a clean cloth. The cloth can then be pressed and dabbed into the satin to clean it. You may need to repeat the process several times to clean the entire spot.
