1. What is the best way to remove stubborn carpet stains?
Stains on your carpet can be frustrating, but they can often be tackled with the right approach:
-Blot, Don’t Rub: Blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much as possible.
-Use a Vinegar and Water Mixture: Mix equal vinegar and water, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
-Blot Again: Absorb the moisture with a clean towel.
For particularly tough stains, our professional carpet cleaning service can ensure your carpets look as good as new.
