The 8 Worst Things To Spill On Your Carpet
Anything that spills on your carpet can damage your beautiful carpet. Some things can cause more damage than others. The following is a list of some of the worst things that you can spill on your carpet and what you can do about them.
Blood Stains
Even if you are cautious, mishaps can still happen. If you spill blood on the carpet, then the very first thing that you must do is tend to the injury. After that, you should focus on the stain. Use an enzyme laundry cleaner and water to clean up the stain.
Bleach Stains
Bleach is fantastic for eliminating spots. However, if it gets on your carpet, then it can develop a stain that is hard for you to remove. There really isn’t much you can do if you spill bleach on your carpet. It is best for you to call a professional carpet cleaning company. In the future store your bleach in a location that has tiled flooring.
Red Wine Stains
Red or white wine can trigger a lot of damage to your carpet. Not only can the wine stain your carpet but it is also acidic. If your carpet is light, then the red white wine can cause a lot more damage to your carpet. You must blot the stain with a cloth and pour club soda on it. If this does not work, then you can utilize baking soda and scrub the stain till it disappears.
Chocolate Stains
Chocolate is so tasty that it is tough to think it can be harmful. Nevertheless, you absolutely do not want this on your carpet. Try to clean the chocolate up as soon as possible. It will be a lot harder for you to remove once the chocolate has melted.
Nail Polish
You should avoid doing your nails on the carpeted areas. If you spill nail polish on your carpet, it will be nearly impossible for you to get it out. You will need to call an expert.
Coffee Stains
Coffee is something that many of us can not begin our day without. It has been revealed to cause irreversible damage to your carpet. Even if you spill a small amount of coffee, it can still trigger a lot of damage to your carpet. Expert cleansing will most likely be required to eliminate the spots.
Tomato Stains
Anything red will produce a stain that is tough to get rid of. You will need to get a paper towel and immediately blot the stain. After that, you should use a mild and natural carpet cleaner. You most likely will not have the ability to get rid of the spot entirely. However, you may be able to get rid of most of it. You can always call a professional.
Beer Stains
Beer not only leaves a stain that is difficult to remove, but it can leave behind an odor. You might be able to remove the stain, however the smell will still be there. Beer spots need an expert carpet cleaning.

They were flexible and accomodating to my schedule and willing to move most items to clean under furniture.Our carpets smell fresh and look new and I felt good giving a local company my business. I will definately call them the next time I need my carpets cleaned!

The smell was very strong and we never envisioned it could be removed, but Gary and his team completely removed the smell! Communication with Gary was excellent and he even followed up after to check in on our satisfaction! This level of service is a gem today!

Kathy Stitman10/25/2019Advanced Carpet Care and the owner Gary Flynn certainly place the "CARE" in the wonderful work they do. Tim and Brad were very friendly, accommodating and they excel as professionals in the carpet cleaning business. I would highly recommend Advanced Carpet Care as a 10 🌟 for all your carpet needs.
Beth Hoppen6/26/2018We had a large protein shake spill on our carpet and found it was very difficult to get out, particularly the smell. After about a week of trying to shampoo it on our own, we decided to enlist professional help. Gary was able to fit us in the same day we called. He and his team were very conscientious, knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with. They also took the time to explain the process of how they were going to treat the carpet. Given the type of spill it was and that it had been in the carpet for almost a week before calling, they offered to come out an additional time to treat it, if needed. Advance Carpet Care saved us from having to replace our carpet. We are very appreciative to them and highly recommend them to anyone in need of carpet cleaning services.
