What do you do when your beautiful carpet gets dirts and stains? This can definitely be an infuriating incident especially when you’re trying to do everything you can to keep your home in beautiful condition.

But should you call a professional carpet cleaning Vancouver company right away? Before you open up the Yellow Pages in search of the right company, you might want to have a shot at using some tried and tested carpet cleaning treatments.

Soda for Silk and Carpets

The same tip for removing stains from a silk blouse also applies to carpet. The all purpose cleaner “club soda” is a lifesaver especially for red stains, and since stains often happen at parties, have a little soda on hand to quickly get rid of red wine spills or red dyes that are often found in drink mixes and popsicles. If soda isn’t strong enough, try a diluted peroxide solution. This may do the trick. Just be careful because peroxide can bleach the color from the carpet too. It works best on light color carpets.

Tough Pet Odors and Accidents

Cat urine and pet accidents in general can be the toughest smells to get out of a carpet even after the stain has been cleaned and the visible affects have vanished. Baking soda is an odor neutralizer and peroxide is a disinfectant that attacks bacteria that causes bad odor. Mixing these two ingredients and using them to treat a pet stained area may help to eliminate the odor.

Helpless?

Keep in mind that the above solutions aren’t guaranteed. If the area is large and obvious, not to mention the odor persists, you may have to get the entire carpet cleaned by professional carpet cleaning Vancouver companies. They have dry foam carpet cleaner and a machine that’s required to get the stains out, plus there isn’t an effective quick fix to eliminating persistent animal odors. The other problem is that many pet foods contain dyes and this in turn causes stains when they have accidents. You may decide to select a more natural colorant free pet nutrition plan if your pet (or puppy) has frequent accidents.

If your carpet cleaning needs are great, then strongly consider hiring a professional carpet cleaning Vancouver company to do the work for you. You’ll have less headaches in the long run, not to mention an easier time dealing with the headaches.
