Spaghetti sauce stains are notorious troublemakers. They cling to fibres like a determined koala to a eucalyptus tree.
But don’t worry, my friend! Armed with a little knowledge on how to remove spaghetti sauce stain from carpet, and 1001 Carpet Care by your side, you’ll conquer the stains.
How To Remove Fresh Spaghetti Stains From Your Carpet
1. Scoop Out the Tomato Sauce
Before you start treating the stain, scoop out as much tomato sauce as possible. You can use a butter knife, spatula, or an old credit card. Be gentle to avoid spreading the stain further. If you’re worried about doing it manually, consider using a vacuum cleaner to extract the sauce.
2. Blot the Stained Area
Blot the discoloured area with a dry, clean paper towel. Be gentle to prevent pushing the sauce deeper into the carpet fibres. Change the paper towel as needed until it no longer turns red. Blotting helps minimise the stain and prepares the carpet for further treatment.
3. Create a Cleaning Solution
Create the cleaning mixture by mixing 1 part 1001 Shampoo with 6 parts water. This ratio ensures a powerful clean without damaging your carpet fibres.
Always test the solution on an inconspicuous area of the carpet first to ensure it won’t damage the fibres or lift colour.
4. Apply the Solution
Using a clean sponge or cloth, apply the cleaning solution to the stained area. Gently work it into the carpet fibres. Allow it to sit for a few minutes.
5. Rinse and Blot
Rinse the area with cold water to remove the cleaning residue. Blot up excess liquid immediately using a lint-free white cloth or a clean sponge.
How To Remove Dried Spaghetti Sauce Stains From Your Carpet
Step #1: Identify the Stain:
Start by identifying the type of stain. Different stains require different cleaning methods for effective results.
Step #2: Prepare the Area:
Vacuum the stained area to remove any loose dirt or debris before applying the stain remover.
Step #3: Apply the 1001 Carpet Care Stain Remover:
Spray a good amount of the 1001 Carpet Care Stain Remover directly onto the stain. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product label for the best results.
Step #4: Allow it to Sit:
Leave the stain remover on the stain for the amount of time suggested in the product instructions. This will give the stain remover enough time to break down the stain by going deeper into the fibre.
Step #5: Soak Up the Stain:
Use a clean, dry cloth to soak up the stain. Always remember to dry up from the outside towards the centre to prevent the stain from spreading.
Step #6: Rinse and Dry:
After removing the stain, wash the area with cold water immediately and blot dry. It’s important to remove all residue of the carpet cleaner from the carpet as it can attract dirt if left in the carpet.
Step #7: Vacuum the Carpet Again:
After the carpet is completely dry, vacuum the area again to restore your carpet’s texture.
