How to Clean a Perfume Stain from your Carpet

1. Try to wash out the spill as quickly as you can after it occurs with a plain white cloth or plain white paper towel(s). A wet/dry vacuum cleaner can also be used with water to repeatedly flush the area and suck out the moisture.

2. Mix 1/4 cup of white vinegar with 1/2 cup of water. Put it in a spray bottle if you have one or otherwise spread it as you apply it. Make it last for two or three applications, working it in gently with your fingers and then blotting it up with a clean white cotton rag or white paper towels each time.

3. Follow that with a mild detergent solution made of warm water (a cup) and a few drops of a mild dish washing detergent (such as Dawn). Again do several applications and blot up the excess each time.

4. Use plain water to rinse out all of the detergent, applying and blotting. Once you have done this, put your face close to the spot to see if there is still any odour from either the perfume stains or the vinegar or the detergent solution. Rinse again if necessary.

5. Dry the area with weighted stacked paper towels (white ones), replacing them as they get saturated. A fan blowing across the spot for a couple hours will finish the drying quickly.

How to clean a lambs wool rug

1. Blot any immediate spills with a paper towel to remove as much of the liquid as possible before it dries. Take your rug outside and shake it vigorously to remove loose dust and dirt. Alternatively, shake it over the garbage can. If your rug is too large to shake, vacuum it thoroughly.

2. Fill a bowl or bucket to the halfway point with lukewarm water. Pour in two caps of a gentle detergent, such as Woolite. Stir the detergent into the water. Dip a sponge in the bowl and wring it out. Sponge stains out of the rug, going in the direction of the pile of the rug. Do not scrub or wipe in circles.

3. Rinse the sponge under the tap. Rinse the soap out of the carpet with the sponge, again following the pile. Once you’ve removed any spot stains, soap up the rest of the carpet as you did in Step 2.

4. Rinse the rug. You can rinse a throw rug with a garden hose. For larger wool carpets, use a carpet steamer filled with water only. Rinsing with a sponge will take too long.

5. Place a towel on top of your wool throw rug and roll it up. This will squeeze out the excess water. Lay the lamb’s wool rug out flat to dry, preferably outdoors. For larger pieces of wool carpeting, open as many windows and doors as you can and turn on a fan to speed up drying or remove water with a wet/dry vacuum. Do not walk on the carpet until it is dry.

How to remove oil stains from carpet

Getting stains out of carpet is tricky, but essential to keep your home clean. Few things make a house look old or dingy more quickly than a dirty, stained carpet. Knowing in advance what to do with stains allows you to be able to treat them as soon as they happen. Oil stains, in particular, need to be treated right away, as they can leave a big mess if you don’t get to them quickly.

Things You’ll Need

Clean cloth or paper towels

Rubbing alcohol

Water

Dishwashing detergent

Goof-Off or another reliable cleaning solution

Instructions

1. Blot the stain with a paper towel or light-coloured cloth. Do not rub the stain, which would only spread it.

2. Pour some rubbing alcohol onto a clean cloth or paper towel and blot the stain. (Be sure not to rub.) Continue blotting the stain until it lifts.

3. Check the spot carefully over the next few hours and days. Carpet stains can be vulnerable to wicking, which is when the liquid at the base of the carpet creeps back up the fibres, causing the stain to reappear. If the oil reappears, repeat the process of blotting and rubbing alcohol until the stain is gone. If the alcohol doesn’t remove the stain, other treatments may be necessary

4. Combine one-quarter teaspoon dishwashing liquid with one cup of warm water. Blot it onto the spot without rubbing. Repeat as needed. If the spot remains, it may be necessary to try a professional-strength cleaner.

5. Find a cleaning solvent such as Goof-Off. Apply the solvent to a cloth and blot it onto the stain. Never pour a solvent directly onto carpet, as it can damage the latex backing. Rinse the spot with water after use.

Tips & Warnings

For a set-in stain or one that doesn’t respond to home treatments, it may be necessary to call a professional carpet cleaner.

How to clean a jute rug

1. Vacuum your jute rug before any wet cleaning. Be careful not to damage the binding border.

 2. Blot fresh stains and spills as soon as they appear, using a clean, dry cloth. When the stain is almost dry, wipe the area with a slightly damp cloth and a few drops of liquid soap. Then use a clean, dry cloth again to remove traces of soap. Leave the jute rug to dry or accelerate the process with a fan. Never use a heater for this task as jute is highly flammable. If something goes wrong with the heater, jute can easily catch on fire.

 3. Scrape old stains with a piece of plastic to remove the hardened substance on the jute fibres. If it is a particularly hard-core stain, use a little water to slightly dissolve if first. Then remove the stain with a damp sponge with a few drops of liquid soap.

 4. Sprinkle some baking soda over the stain to suck the moisture from the stain. When the area is completely dry, remove the baking soda using a vacuum cleaner.

 5. Use a commercial protection spray made especially for jute rugs. A coat of this protection spray will prevent absorption of moisture. If you live in a high-humidity area, this is almost a necessity.

How to remove tea stains from your carpet

1. Check the fabric of your carpet. Solution-dyed fabric may withstand chemicals and even bleach, but nylon may lose its colour, so use extra care when working with textiles such as olefin/nylon. Wool fabrics may require dry cleaning for stain removal. Check tags or labels for specific instructions.

2. Spray the spot with clear cool water. If several attempts to remove the stain with water are unsuccessful, try another method, but first use water.

3. Blot–do not rub–with white paper towels or a cloth. Rubbing or scrubbing may spread the stain, making it more difficult to remove. Begin at an outer edge and work toward the centre to avoid enlarging the spill.

4. Alternate spraying with water and blotting until the cloth or towel no longer shows any sign of tea stain. If colour remains, prepare a mild spot remover.

5. Mix a solution of a mild, clear, non-bleach dishwashing detergent in a ratio of 1/4 tsp. detergent to 1 litre of water.

6. Work in small circles from the outside to the inside of the spot, blotting after a moment or so. When the fabric is clear of stain marks, spray again with clear water and blot until dry. If the spot is still visible, move to a stronger commercial stain remover.

7. Carefully test the commercial stain remover in an inconspicuous corner of the carpet. Using the spray and blot method, apply the remover and blot.
