The holiday season means fun with family, celebrating with friends, and hosting countless parties. Unfortunately, all that celebrating could also be a recipe for disaster for your carpet or rug. Spilled drinks, dropped food, and increased foot traffic could leave your rug with more stains than usual. Thankfully, there is a way to remedy even the toughest holiday stains. Keep our spot removal tips in mind to keep your home clean during the holidays.
Common Holiday Stains:
- Cranberry sauce
- Gravy
- Sticky fudge
- Holiday punch
- Wine
- Coffee
To prevent permanent stains, follow these basic rules for spills and spot removal:
- Immediately blot up spills using a clean white absorbent material (tissues, napkins, towels, etc.)
- Pretest spot removal formulas in an inconspicuous area of the fabric. Put a few drops of formula on each color in the textile and, using your white-absorbent material, hold it against each color, count to ten, then examine the results. If the dye has bled into the absorbent material, or if there has been a change in the colored area, call a professional ASCR member cleaner for advice.
- Do not over wet. Work with small amounts of formulas and blot frequently. Problems result from using large amounts. Blot – do not rub or brush. Excessive agitation may cause unsightly distortion which may be permanent.
- Work from the outer edge toward the center of the stain.
- Have patience – some stains respond slowly.
- Remember, haphazard attempts at spot removal may result in indelible stains and/or permanent damage to fabrics.
