Basic Methods of Spot Removal from Carpet

DULUTH, Ga. - Oct. 13, 2016 - PRLog -- It's a good feeling. You have a beautiful home, you spend time keeping it in perfect shape, and your brand-new carpet is the icing on the cake. It's soft, comfortable and clean.

Then one day, you notice (gasp) a spot right in the middle of the living room. There's no way you can live with that eyesore. It has got to go. What do you do?

Here are a few tips to basic spot removal. Don't forget that a spot can really be a stain, which needs professional attention.

Identify
Do your best to visually identify the spot. Some spots are easy; others are pretty tough. It's not always possible to identify the spotting substance in the carpet. Yet, a little sleuthing on your part can get you close. Where is the spot? Is it near the dining room or where those in the family might eat? Odds are, it's food related, and you might find success with a spotting solution for sticky residues. Is it in a bedroom? Could be cosmetic, shoe polish or other substance common to getting ready for the day, and you might find success with a dry solvent spotter.

Apply product
When you have figured out as best you can the type of spot you have, choose a reputable product for that particular spot. Some of the best spotting solutions can be obtained from your carpet cleaning company. Ask them what they recommend.

Blot
Next comes removal. Carefully blot the spot. Do not scrub. You will damage the tips of the fibers and there's nothing short of replacement to fix that. Keep applying and blotting product until the spot is gone.

Remember, if you do your own spot removal, there is some danger of removing original fabric color and causing other damage. Take your time and do it right. Pretesting fiber and solution compatibility is always recommended.
