Carpet Cleaning Bournemouth, Poole & Christchurch.

Wool being a natural fibre has its own special needs when it comes to stain removal which can be applied generally across the range of carpet styles. It is not as simple as buying a spray on spot remover and expecting that to remove the stain but by following some basic techniques you will be able to limit the impact. We are often asked how to treat spills if not with a spray spot remover. The first thing to remember is that despite wishing to remove the stain you must be careful not to make the problem worse. At No stage of any stain removal should you rub the carpet. If this is done the carpet can be damaged extensively and even if the stain was removed the damage would remain. If the spill has solid content this can be removed with a spoon or similar blunt instrument. If a solvent spotter is required it should be used first allowing plenty of ventilation. After blotting with plain towels and providing the carpet is not water sensitive, lightly damped pieces of plain white kitchen roll can be used first to see if any of the spill transfers. If it does then continue with this until no further effects can be seen. Then blot dry with clean white kitchen towels. In many cases this will be all that is required to remove the spill.

To increase the power of the cleaning action, sparingly spray on a Woolsafe Spot Remover as the next step. Always pre-test a small area as some spray stain removers may affect carpet dyes. Leave for a few moments to do its job. Blot dry with towels then apply dampened towels and again blot dry to absorb any remaining residues.

On many occasions this would be sufficient to remove many spills but there will always be times when more help is required.

On those occasions you may need to seek help from a cleaning professional to remove the stain.
