Carpet Cleaning Tips and Tricks on Removing Baby Stains
Babies are adorable – no question about it. However, when they make a mess on your carpet during feeding time, your patience may be put to the test. Luckily, there are many ways to remove baby food from carpets, including professional carpet cleaning services. Here are a few steps to follow that will make your carpets look impeccably clean even after your baby had a feast on them.
Blotting
Baby food or formula can wreak havoc on your carpets. It gets deep into the carpet fibers and presents a real challenge to remove. The key however, is to blot the stain as soon as it happens. The more you let the stain settle, the harder it will be to remove it. So, without any second thoughts, vacuum all the excess solids and/or liquids off the carpet, and blot the stain quickly. Don’t rub it as it may become even worse.
Diluting
Baby formula can dry up on your carpet pretty fast. This will make removal even more challenging. However, by diluting the stain with cold water, the formula becomes loose so you’ll be able to remove it easily.
Cleaning
The final step of the process is to clean the stain using different types of cleaners. We highly recommend an environmentally-friendly solution as it will be much safer for your baby. Consider using baking soda or cornstarch instead of powerful chemicals. Spread the powder over the stain, and let it sit for a while. Vacuum the debris afterward.
Professional Carpet Cleaning Services
Although the method described above work in most cases, there are situations when you’ll need to clean your carpets professionally. This means you have to contact a carpet cleaning service provider and have them steam clean your carpets. Considering that you have a baby that likes to spend most of his/her time on the carpet, you should steam clean your carpets at least once a month.
