Once you have carpet in your home, the battle begins to keep it looking, feeling and smelling its best. It seems that the day after it is installed real life begins and the dirt and debris start falling on the ground. All of that is not a big deal but the first spill on your carpet is a disaster and you run for the cleaners as fast as you can. Most people know that in order to treat a spill properly you need to get to it as soon as possible. This will help to get at it before the spill has time to set in. Another aspect of keeping your carpets cleaned is knowing what you are dealing with. When you have a spill you need to know what it is and if it in fact a stain or a spot. Yes, these are two different types of spills on your carpet and each should be treated accordingly. Now you must be wondering what is a stain versus a spot?
DM Carpet Cleaning Explains How to Treat Carpet Stains & Carpet Spots
How To Tell If You Have A Carpet Spot: If you want to treat a spill with the best chance of removing it, you should really know what it is that you are dealing with. The best way is to first know specifically what the spill is from and then to know if you are working on a spot or a stain. If you have a spot you can tell by running your hand over the area. A spot will stand up on the carpet fibers and is less likely to soak into the carpet and the padding. The spot will have texture and you can easily feel it on the surface. A spot is often times from chewed up gum, nail polish and feces. These are all spills that will not necessarily soak in but are in no way simpler to deal with. You need to start with removing the excess and then call a professional. You want to be sure that you use a professional so that your carpet is not damaged.
How To Get Carpet Stains Out: This is an entirely other type of spill and is usually much harder to treat. A stain is usually a spill that has some chemical reaction that is going to damage the carpet fibers and soak into the carpet. You won’t really feel a difference because it soaks in quickly. Just like any kind of spill, you want to treat it as soon as you possibly can. The faster the better especially if you are talking about a stain that tends to set in. The stain can be from red wine, pet urine or even bleach. These spills are much harsher and best left to the professionals to treat them properly.
