Carpet Stains and the best carpet cleaner?
Question:I have your average cheap apartment carpeting, and I am wondering what is the best home remedy or the best carpet cleaner. The stains consist of built up dirt in walkways, pet stains, and paint stains, which had been washed right after it happened, the remaining stain is just what was left over from pouring water on it to sop it up.
Answers:
By far the best and cheapest rug cleaner ever:
1 Tsp. of White Vinegar
1/2 Tsp. of Ammonia
3 Tbsp. of Dish Soap
3/4 Cup of water
Mix together and put in a foaming dispenser (most hand soaps are now foamers) or just whisk up. Using ONLY the foam, use a damp sponge on the stain. It removes new and set in stains. Seriously, got this from a friend of mine and used it on her carpets to clean some stains before she moved out of her place. Absolutely amazing!
Resolve's Spot Shot is really good on stains. Just get a hard bristle brush and scrub it for a few seconds after you spray it. A good deodorizer is Odo-ban
Chem Dry spotter is the best. No harsh chemicals, and NO SOAP, which is what attracts dirt in cleaners. You cant go wrong! buy it at home depot or from chem dry operation!
It sounds as though the water has just spread the stain which is kinda hard to deal with, i use SEBO duo-P, it's a dry powder that helps absorb dirt molecules (reading off the packet) it doesnt bleech ur carpet and u can walk on it whilst it works its magic. Otherwise get a quote off a carpet cleaner so u know if it's worth getting it professionally cleaned.
