Carpet Cleaning Tips for Stain Removal

Carpet cleaning tips can help you to successfully remove stains before they set in. One of the easiest and cheapest options is to mix one part white vinegar with one part water and apply this cleaning solution to the stain with a spray bottle. You should be sure that the stain is totally saturated with the solution and then allow it to sit for up to 15 minutes.

Then clean the stain with a sponge using a rubbing motion, rinse the area with warm water and brush the carpet pile back in its natural direction when finished. Place layers of paper towels on top of the area and lay a book on top of this, and allow it to sit until dry. Another effective option for cleaning carpet stains is to use an ammonia solution made of one teaspoon clear ammonia for every half cup of water. You can also apply this solution with a spray bottle, but try not to wet the carpet backing.
