Like new again: working methods for cleaning carpets from blood, chocolate, grease

Even if there are no small children or animals in the house, stains from soup, wine, coffee or other liquids can appear on the carpet. To prevent the stain from getting into the fibers of the carpet, it must be removed as soon as possible.

UaPortal has collected effective carpet cleaning methods.

Blood

To remove blood stains from carpets, mix one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent and two cups of cold water. Take a clean white cloth, and blot the stain with a solution of water and detergent until the stain disappears. If this method did not help, take one spoonful of ammonia with half a glass of warm water and wipe the stain with the prepared solution.

Chocolate

If the carpet is stained with chocolate, take a dull knife and scrape off as much chocolate as you can. Vacuum the carpet to pick up all the pieces. Next, take ¼ teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent and 1 cup of warm water, mix, and apply the solution to the stain using a clean cloth. Move from the edge of the stain to the center. Leave for 5-10 minutes, and wipe.
