Toughest Types of Stains to Clean Out from A Carpet

There’s something beautiful about the soft and cozy smell that comes from a clean carpet. But this inviting smell can be replaced by smelly and offensive odor when a clean carpet has been stained with a drink, pet urine, coffee, or any other bad-smelling stains. Carpet or rugs can be stained in various ways, and these stains can cause severe damage that usually requires the help of professionals. Although some stains are easy to fix, if you can’t handle it, do not hesitate to contact a professional cleaner for all your severe carpet stain problems. In this article, we will be talking about some of the toughest carpet stains, that are not easy to clean.
 

Colored Drinks

Colored Drinks or beverages like Kool-Aid, Red Wine, and Orange pop have colorful or synthetic or natural dye, and these stains are very stubborn that they can not be removed by just cleaning alone. You may succeed in cleaning these stains off if you clean them immediately they pour on the carpet, but once they seep in and become dry, cleaning them off becomes absolutely tricky.
 

Nail Polish

Nail polish can be damaging to carpets, and the stains may or may not be removed easily depending on how fast you act. Nail polish glues to carpets the same way it sticks to the fingernails, causing a tough stain that cannot be easily removed.
 

Green Tea

Green tea contains a green dye that is hard to remove if it pours on a carpet. This stain may be permanent on your carpet if you don’t act immediately
 

Pet Stains

Pet urine or other stains from cats or dogs are also tough to remove because they contain a strong acid that can bleach the carpet when left to stay for too long. They also leave an offensive odor on your carpet. It is best to avoid letting your pets come close to the carpet because they may ruin your carpet totally.
 

Yellow Mustard

Yellow mustard also dyes the carpet, and it can be difficult to remove. It’s one of the toughest kinds of stain that you have very slim chances of removing without contacting an expert.
 

Cooking Oil

Cooking oil, when left to stay too long on a carpet, may be challenging to remove. This is because cooking oil is sticky, so more dirt will stick to it, thereby staining your carpet even more. Sometimes, cooking oil stain on carpet is difficult to notice, because the color of the oil may somehow match the color of your carpet, especially when the spot is in a conspicuous place.
 

Grape Juice or Wine Stains

Wine stains are also very tough to remove from carpets. Wines contain dye and additives, which may leave tough stains on carpets. The stains usually stick to the carpet fibers very quickly, and this can lead to permanent damage.
 

Bloodstains

Just like juice stains, blood stains penetrate the carpet very fast, and a dark stain is usually found on the affected spot when dry. So, it’s best to clean the affected area immediately to prevent severe damage.
 

Coffee Stains

One common tough stain that many people have experienced in their offices and homes is coffee stains. Coffee stains leave a yellowish or brownish coloration that is always difficult to remove, and contacting an expert may be the only way out.
 

Ink Stains

Ink stains can cause permanent damage to carpets when not cleaned thoroughly. Ink stains can occur anywhere and at any time- especially when you have kids who may want to play or do their homework on your carpet. Ink stains are best handled by professionals, so don’t hesitate to reach out to a professional as soon as you notice the stain.
 

Bodily Fluids

Bodily fluids like vomit, or child or animal excreta can stain your carpet and cause an upsetting and persistent odor that will be difficult to remove. Vomit is one of the worst liquids that can stain your carpet, and it can ruin your carpet if not cleaned quickly.
