How to remove stubborn carpet stains

Keeping carpets clean is not an easy task, even at the best of times. When there are stains to be removed, it gets even more difficult. So how do you remove stains without damaging the carpet? Here are a few tips.

To remove tar stains, apply a solution of equal parts of glycerine and water and leave it for about an hour. Next, rinse the area with water. Repeat the process till the stain is gone.

For coffee stains, blot with a towel, sponge with soda water and again blot dry. The same process applies for beer stains too. Squirting soda water works well for wine, red or white.

The best way to remove chewing gum is to scrape it away carefully with a blunt knife as much as you can. Then apply carpet shampoo and vacuum clean.

To remove oil or grease, lay blotting paper over the stain, place a cloth over it and apply medium iron. This will draw the grease into the paper. Do it a few times and then clean using carpet shampoo.
