Practical Guide<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many people choose a beautiful rug to add a warm and elegant touch to a room. However, everyday life means that stains often dull the color. All it takes is a few drops of wine spilled at a party or an accidental shoe print to leave your carpet in disrepair.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are some simple tips for degreasing, deodorizing and sanitizing a dirty carpet. And this, without damaging the textile! So, how do you remove embedded stains from carpet? Here is a practical guide to help you restore the splendor of this design element in record time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1728&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>1. Act quickly to remove your carpet<\/h2>\n<p>You made a stain on your <a href=\"\/en\/carpets-and-rugs-better-than-their-reputation\/\">rug, rug-plain or carpet<\/a>\u2009? In this case, it is crucial to act quickly.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the longer the stain remains, the more likely it will penetrate the fibers and become permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Also, get a clean, absorbent cloth and follow the following steps!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Remove loose dirt. <\/strong>First dab the liquid gently with a clean white cloth. Above all, don&#8217;t rub it, otherwise you risk spreading it. In case of solid non-encrusted stains, you can use a brush and a vacuum cleaner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dissolve with lukewarm water<\/strong>, without soap or other detergent. Again, gently dab the dirty area, this time using a damp cloth. Then, blot up the liquid using a dry cloth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sprinkle with potato starch <\/strong>and allow to dry completely before vacuuming.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1731&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>2. Test on a small, hidden area before removing a stain from rug or carpet<\/h2>\n<p>Are the previous steps not enough to get rid of the dirt? In this case, you can use a textile stain remover.<\/p>\n<p>However, before applying detergent to the spill, we recommend carrying out a test on a small, hidden part of the carpet. The goal is to ensure that the household product will not damage or discolor the fibers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Choose natural products to clean your carpet<\/h2>\n<p>We advise you to avoid using harsh chemicals (such as chlorinated products) which could damage the carpet fibers. Instead, opt for natural cleansers.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can mix a small amount of white vinegar with warm water to treat common stains.<\/p>\n<p>For grease stains, sprinkle them lightly with baking soda, leave for a few hours then vacuum up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Use specific solutions to remove all types of stains<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, there are substances that we have difficulty getting rid of despite our efforts! In reality, each trace corresponds to the recipe that will remove this dirt.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some (non-exhaustive) cleaning solutions you can use.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For wine stains: <\/strong>use a cloth dampened with sparkling water or diluted white vinegar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For coffee stains: <\/strong>mix a teaspoon of mild dishwashing liquid with lukewarm water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For ink stains: <\/strong>soak a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For urine stains<\/strong>: Moisten the affected area with equal doses of water and household vinegar. After 10 minutes, dab alternately using damp and dry cloths. Finally, dab with a disinfectant diluted in water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For blood stains: <\/strong>Dilute two tablespoons of salt in a liter of cold water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Are you affected by other types of dirt?
