You just bought a new carpet and split some ketchup on it… Unfortunately, that happens very often. It is not your fault, but you are responsible for cleaning it. Maybe, you think that the situation is hopeless. Not at all! You just need to know the best technique how to remove ketchup stains and do that as soon as possible.
Before you start cleaning you have to be provided with some tools and products. Get some neutral detergent and vinegar. Also, you will need some white towels. In order to make the application of the solution to the stain easier, you can use a spray bottle. Carpet cleaning Melbourne advise you to mix one teaspoon of the detergent with two cups of water into the spray bottle. Take another spray bottle, mix one part vinegar with two parts water.
First of all, try to take care of the stain as soon as possible. The best way to remove it is to start cleaning right after it has occurred. Begin with removing the excess ketchup as much as you can with a dull plastic knife, for example.
Then, spray the detergent solution to a white towel. Blot the ketchup with the towel and be sure that you don’t spread it. Do that from outside to inside and repeat as many times as you need – until there is no ketchup remained on the towel.
The next thing to do is to spray the affected area with the vinegar solution. Leave it for several seconds and blot it with a clean towel. You might need to do that more that 2 or 3 times. You will be done when there is no residue of the ketchup. After that, dry the area carefully. Otherwise, some unpleasant odour can occur.
Cleaning a ketchup stain is not that difficult as you probably thought. If you cannot remove it yourself, ask the professionals to do it for you. House cleaning Melbourne will remove it completely, even if it has stayed on your carpet for too long. You only need to call them and tell them when is the best time to come to your place.
