Removing pet stains can be a challenge for even the most competent individuals. They are quite complex in their nature. This is a green woolen carpet we deep cleaned in Garstang, Lancashire. Our client’s dog had been laying on it. The grease and dirt from its coat had stained the carpet.
Most advice would say to blot up the grease stain as much as possible. This becomes a real challenge with these sorts of carpet stains. Why? Because the grease stain has no excess grease. There is effectively nothing (much) to blot up. If you were to put a paper towel onto this type of pet stain, you may see a little grease. However, nothing that would improve the stain in any way.
The next part of the process would be to select the appropriate cleaning solution. When you have chosen the best cleaning product, it is always a good idea to test it on an inconspicuous area of your carpet. Apply the solution onto a cloth and use the cloth to apply the solution to the stain. It is best practice to start from the outside of the stain and work your way inwards.
The stain removal product needs to be left on the stain for a few minutes in order to work. You should then blot with a clean (white) cloth until the stain no longer transfers. As always, it is important not to rub the carpet at all.
You will then need to rinse the area with cold water, making sure that you always remove all excess wetness. If any of the carpet stain remains, you will need to repeat this process. Paper towels should then be used to soak up all excess moisture. Only when the carpet is dry should you hover it in order to restore the texture.
