Spilling orange juice on your carpet can feel like a disaster, especially during National Picnic Month. But fear not! With this handy guide, you’ll turn that sticky situation into a victory for cleanliness.
Let’s dive into how to rescue your carpet from orange juice mishaps and make your carpet as good as new.
Why are home remedies not always as effective as professional cleaning solutions?
Home remedies and cleaning or stain removal hacks found online can be very effective. Most of them use natural ingredients you already have in your home. But these can never replace professional carpet care products.
The main reason for this is that professional cleaning solutions and stain removers are scientifically formulated to break down stains. They are thoroughly tested before being released to the public and labelled as safe to use. Thanks to ongoing chemical research and development, they are continually improved upon as well.
While home remedies are better than leaving a fruit juice spill to leave a stain, they lack the strength and efficacy of carpet chemicals. If you are concerned about the environment-friendliness of your carpet chemicals, rest assured that our products are safe for your carpets and the environment.
Step #1: Quick Response to Spills
Act Fast: The quicker you address the spill, the better your chances of avoiding a stain.
Blot, Don’t Rub: Use a dry paper towel to blot the spill. Rubbing can push the juice deeper into the fibres.
Step #2: Stain Fighting Technique
1001 Carpet Care Stain Remover: This is your go-to weapon against stubborn stains.
Gentle Application: Apply the stain remover directly to the affected area. A little goes a long way—no need to soak the carpet.
Step #3: Work It In
Massage Gently: With a clean cloth, work the product into the fibres with a gentle touch.
Blot Again: After massaging, blot away any excess liquid to prevent over wetting.
Step #4: The Finishing Touch
Natural Drying: Allow the carpet to air dry. Avoid using artificial heat sources as they can set the stain.
Vacuum: Once dry, vacuum the area to restore the carpet’s texture.
Step #5: Freshen Up
Carpet Fresh Fragrance: After cleaning, use a Carpet Fresh fragrance to leave your carpet smelling delightful.

Avoid Rubbing Too Hard:

Applying heat to your carpet is like tucking it in with a cozy blanket. But stains don’t need a nap—they need eviction!
