What to do when mouthwash stains get on the Carpet

Mouthwash stains are very common on carpets. As you clean your mouth with a toothbrush, you cannot possibly expect to keep the mouthwash that builds up inside to stay inside. Most people just tend to stay inside the washroom over the wash basin while cleaning their mouths, while others tend to move here and there while doing so. As a result, the dripping mouth wash on the carpets can result in a mighty big stain if it is not cleaned properly. Mouthwash stains are common and are one of the reasons why so many carpet cleaning Manukau shops get a lot of carpets, because even a single stain results in a very poor outlook of the carpets, hence resulting in a clean.

However, did you know that rather than giving in your carpet to a dry cleaner, you can clean the mouth wash stains yourself? There are a number of different ways by which you can do so. Here are a few tips that you can try out when it comes to cleaning mouth wash stains from your carpets:

–          Firstly, as soon as you spill some mouth wash on the carpets, make sure you clean it up immediately. Dawdling or letting it dry will only cause a stronger stain, and that is not a very easy thing to clean. Make sure you put a bit of water on the stain and remove it with some tissue paper or any sort of dry cloth immediately. Also, when clearing up, it is very important for you to not rub on the stain with the tissue paper or towel, because that will just cause the spill to get embedded even more inside and will also cause it to spread. Hence, it would be preferable if you just keep the towel on the top of the stain and wait for it to absorb itself.

–          Now that you have dried the stain, you need to remove it. You can get stain removing carpet cleaning solutions from the market, or you can create your own with a simple mixture of clear ammonia and warm water. The process is quite simple as you just have to mix the two and put it on top of the stain.

–          Try to use a spray bottle to remove the stain by spraying the solution over as it results in cleaning the carpets from deep inside!

Use the above mentioned tips, and get the best results!
