Tricks To Getting Out Those Stubborn Stains

By -
For homes that have stains on the carpets or furniture, it can be difficult to remove the blemishes with common products and tools. From red wine spills to ink marks, there are many stains that can be impossible to remove and can detract from the fabric. Fortunately, there are a few tricks to getting rid of the marks and restoring the condition of the carpet or couch.



Pretreat the Item

One of the main secrets to removing stains is to pretreat the affected area as soon as possible, which will prevent the stain from setting in. Consider using an enzyme detergent or solution, which will break down the proteins. Allow the detergent to set for several minutes before repeating the process once or twice.

Hire Professional Cleaning Services

It can be difficult to remove stubborn stains from carpets with your own vacuum cleaner or carpet cleaner. According to Grimebusters Ltd, a company that provides Edmonton carpet cleaning, a professional carpet cleaning company will use high-quality tools and solutions to restore the condition of the carpet and pick up stains that would otherwise be permanent.

Apply Cornstarch

For grease or oil stains, cornstarch or cornstarch powder should be rubbed liberally on the stain and allow it to sit for 15 to 20 minutes. You can also use an iron on the area to allow the cornstarch to set in and even repeat the process several times. The cornstarch can then be brushed off with a dry towel.

Blot and Scrape

Whether you're trying to remove blood from an upholstered chair or peanut butter from the carpet, one of the most effective ways of removing the stain is to blot and scrape. Use a tool like a spoon or brush to scrape as much of the material off of the fabric. You should then blot the stain several times with a stain removing product and repeat the process. Have patience and also soak from underneath the stain to remove more of the gunk.


Stains can often go neglected due to the work involved to remove the blemish. Instead of allowing your furniture or floors to look used and abused, opt for different methods to removing stains that you may assume are permanent. By consulting the services of a professional company, it will also work to remove the spills that can be difficult to clean with basic household products.
