Keep in mind that the red lights indicating a blockage won’t switch off straight away.
Wait at least 24 hours to check that the carpet’s colour hasn’t been affected.. 1.Clean the Affected Area With Washing Up Liquid.
One of the easiest ways to clean ground in dirt is with a mixture of washing up liquid and water.. You don’t need much washing up liquid for this.A quarter teaspoon of washing up liquid added to around 250ml of plain water is plenty.You should also give the floor a quick vacuum before you start to get rid of loose dirt.. Once you’ve made the solution, add a small amount to a clean, white cloth and start using it to gently work the affected carpet fibres.
Start from the outside and work inwards to prevent the stain from spreading further.We don’t recommend spraying the mixture on the carpet directly, as you don’t want to oversaturate it..
When you’ve covered the whole area, let the washing up liquid sit in the carpet for 3-5 minutes, before blotting it up with a different dry cloth (make sure it’s white).
Always blot a carpet rather than rub to prevent damage.. To get rid of any remaining solution and dirt, give the area a rinse with cold water and blot it dry again with a different cloth.Begin by using a damp cloth to dab up as much of the stain as possible.
Don’t rub the stain though, as this can damage the fibres and force the stain deeper into the carpet.. Then, using a new cloth, dab the entire area with the vinegar solution before leaving it for around 10 minutes.. Next, rinse the area with a clean cloth using cold water, then blot up the liquid with a microfiber cleaning cloth.You may need to repeat this sequence multiple times to remove the entire stain.. Continue blotting until all excess moisture is removed, then allow the carpet time to air dry..
Tip: Make sure you don’t oversaturate your carpet during the cleaning process.It should be damp rather than wet.. 3.
