Cleaning Up Common Carpet Spots - Coffee And Mud

Carpet stains are not a problem if you stay on top of them. The last thing you want to do is let them build up to the point that the only thing you can do is call a professional. If you want to stay on top of your carpet spots read this article for some tips on dealing with some common carpet spots.

One common spot that might get on your carpet is coffee. Coffee can be difficult because it is a multi part stain. You are dealing with not only the coffee but also creamer and anything else you put in it. First you want to start by blotting up as much of the spot as possible with a dry cotton towel. Get as much up as possible. Next, move on to your general carpet cleaning spotter. Spray it on the spot and let it dwell for few seconds. Blot it up with a cotton towel and repeat. This should take out the creamer and any additives. After the general spotter you want to spray the spot with a vinegar and water solution. In a spray bottle mix up a solution of one part white distilled vinegar to three parts water. Spray the spot with this solution and let it dwell for a few seconds. Blot up the solution and repeat. This should remove the coffee itself. Now let the spot dry thoroughly before putting the carpet back to use. Place fans on the spot if you have any.

Another common spot is mud. Mud is actually very easy to remove. To remove mud you want to leave it alone. Do not touch it until it is completely dry. After it is dry you can usually just vacuum it out of the carpet. You might need to lightly brush the carpet with a soft brush to loosen it but be careful not to scrub too hard. If you have any remaining soil you can use your general spotter to spot clean it just like above. Follow it up with your vinegar and water solution to remove any residue left by the spotter. Once again, let the carpet dry thoroughly before putting it back to use.

I hope these tips will help you to deal with these spots if you get them on your carpet. As you can see they are actually very easy to remove. Good luck to you and if you need further help you should consult a carpet cleaner.
