Do you have the equipment to do that, or the training to test that the carpet is PH neutral? If you don’t, you might want to re consider what you put into your carpet. And what the pets and children can walk on or consume in some way.
Getting stains out of the carpet – Will they come back?
It’s not just the damage to the carpets, children and pets though. You need to understand what is in the carpet stain remover to know what it does to make your carpet dirty quicker.
For example, you need to consider that whatever you use on the carpet will be staying in there. So if it’s a chemical that over time degrades or produces colour loss. You need to get that carpet stain removal product out as soon as you have finished using it.

Good carpet stain spotters – What should I use?

But here are just a few things to consider when you want to get stuck into that spill.
So starting with your carpet. Do you know what it is made from?
If you don’t. Stop right there, and find out. There are ways to do this. Do a burn test. You will need some tweezers, a fibre from your carpet and a lighter.
From the colour of the flame you can tell what the fibre is made out of, what is smells like colour of the smoke and ash colour. Then you need to check the ash and whether is crumbly or hard. It come with practice. I will write another article about this test and link the page to it another time.
Once you understand what your carpet is made of. You need to understand its construction. Different backing and fibres do different things. Some will shrink. And some will even stretch.
Understanding the carpet construction is very important if you don’t want to ruin your carpet.
Will bleach come out of carpets?
Don’t forget that chlorine bleach dissolves wool! Check to see if the product you are using contains ingredients that effect the fibres in your carpet.
Does it have solvents for example. Trust me, I have seen all sorts of things used on carpets. Solvents may delaminate the backing of your carpet. Or if it’s carpet tiles, they are bitumen backed normally. Solvents will melt the that and the fibres that are embedded in them will come out.
Don’t forget that citrus products are in fact solvents. I have seen people being caught out by this thinking a natural product will be ok.
You will need some basic tools for Carpet stain removal also. Like something to blot up. Must not already have colour that may come off! You will need scissors, tweezers and a lighter. Some ph strips if you don’t know the ph of what you are using. And a few other bits.
How to get stains out of the carpet – What is it?
Then you need to understand what type of stain it is. Is it oil, soil, dye, food.
They are all very different. So will you be using a water based carpet stain remover, solvent based? Do you need an enzyme in the mix?
