Toronto carpet cleaning

Despite the actual square footage of your home and the amount of furniture you have, the possibility of noticing old stains remains the same. Toronto carpet cleaning companies are often contacted by individuals who have tried, but failed to remove their carpet stains on their own. They either failed due to the fact that they were not using the right products or their stain was there for too long. Some might ask, “What is too long?” Well, according to many experts, even 10 minutes is too long! If you notice a stain, you should always refrain from allowing it stay in your carpet as this could lead to permanent damage. However, in some cases, you can surely remove a stain that has been present even for a year! 

Your Checklist

Before you begin the process of cleaning, you must ensure you have all of the products you need. Some people decide to skip the home remedies and buy carpet cleaning solutions from stores. Their decision isn’t necessarily bad, however, some over the counter cleaners aren’t as effective as they seem. It is probably best for you to try cleaning your stain using some home remedies. In this case, we will present you with the most popular home remedy. 

You will need:

1.      Baking soda

2.      Vinegar

3.      Water

4.      Microfibre cloth (2)

How to Remove Your Year Old Stains

1.      Before anything, mix some vinegar and water together in a spray bottle. There should be an even amount of both liquids in your bottle. It is recommended by many Toronto carpet cleaning specialists that you ensure the spray bottle is completely clean. If you have used other chemicals in the bottle before, you should soak for about 30 minutes prior to using it on your carpets. Certain chemicals can leave your carpet completely damaged. You best bet is to buy a container that is brand new, soak it for a bit, and proceed to clean your carpets. 

2.      Now, it’s time to use your baking soda. Baking soda is excellent for removing stains that have present for a long time on almost any surface. Due to the fact that it’s more of a powdery substance, some people prefer to use a different cleaning solution because it can be quite a nuisance to clean up. However, in this case, so long as you have a vacuum, you are okay. Take your baking soda and place it on the carpet over the effect area. Your stain should no long be visible as the baking soda will be completely covering it. 

3.      Grab your vinegar/water mix and spray it over your baking soda. If the stain is extremely visible and has been there for a while, don’t be afraid to almost empty the bottle. Your goal is completely remove this stain so that you can avoid the costly option of replacing your entire carpet. 

4.      Wait around 2-3 hours as soon as you squeeze the final spray out of your bottle. While you’re waiting, the solutions are working together to effectively remove your stain. Don’t be in a rush to see the results! You could always watch a few movies to kill time. 

5.      Plug in your vacuum cleaner and run it over the affected area until you no longer see the baking soda. Hopefully, you’ll no longer see the stain too!
