Rug Stain Removal – Fact or Fiction

Rug Stain Removal – Fact or Fiction

October 1, 2021

There are tons of different ideas for area rug stain removal floating around the internet, but do they work or not? Look no further for enlightenment on whether some of the most popular suggestions for area rug stain removal are fact or fiction.

Fact or Fiction? Enlightening truths about popular area rug stain removal methods.

FACT: Vinegar can be your friend...if used properly. Combine 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water in a spray bottle and test on your rug before spraying on a stain. After 5 min., blot gently with a microfiber cloth. Don't scrub! Always dilute vinegar -- if applied directly to a stain, vinegar alone could spread stain and damage rug fibers.

FICTION: White Wine. Some say the enzymes in white wine will help lift a red wine stain in area rugs, but this stain removal tip is only a myth.

FACT: Baking Soda. Have pets? Baking soda has natural deodorizing properties that help neutralize pet odors. Sprinkle liberally over your area rug and let sit for several hours before vacuuming.

FICTION: Hairspray. Hairspray has been hyped as a quick fix for ink stains, but it really damages rug fibers and causes dirt to become embedded in area rugs.

FACT: Treat quickly! Your chance of success in removing area rug stains depends on acting quickly. Always blot -- never rub! Use a clean, white microfiber cloth or paper towels. Rubbing spreads stains and pushes them further into rug fibers, so a gentle approach is best. If you need a professional to assist with stain removal, please give us a call.
