Here’s your comprehensive guide to help you know how to remove cooking sauce from your carpet.
How to Remove Cooking Sauce from Your Carpet: Step-By-Step
Things you will need
Carpet Stain Remover
Clean Cloth
Vacuum Cleaner
-
Step 1: Blot The Cooking Sauce Stain With a Dry Paper Towel
- Don’t Delay: As soon as the sauce hits the carpet, channel your inner superhero. The faster you act, the better your chances of complete removal.
- Cold Water Rinse: For fresh stains (especially tomato-based ones), rinse with cold water immediately. Cold water helps prevent the stain from setting. Blot with a clean cloth afterward.
- Blot, Don’t Rub: Grab a clean cloth or paper towel and gently blot the stain. Avoid aggressive rubbing, which can push the sauce deeper into the fibres.
-
Step 2: Apply Carpet Stain Remover
- Test a Hidden Area: Before going all-in, test the 1001 Carpet Care Stain Remover on an inconspicuous part of the carpet. We don’t want any surprises!
- Spray or Apply: Spray the 1001 Carpet Care Stain Remover directly onto the sauce stain. Alternatively, apply a small amount using a clean cloth or sponge.
-
Step 3: Massage the Product
- Blot Again: Yes, more blotting! Press the cloth onto the stain, allowing the stain remover to penetrate.
- Wait and Watch: Patience, my friend. Let the stain remover sit for a few minutes.
- Gently Scrub: Use a soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub the stain. Work from the outer edges toward the centre.
-
Step 4: Dry Properly
- Absorb Excess Moisture: Blot with a dry cloth to remove excess liquid.
- Air It Out: Open windows or use a fan to speed up drying. Avoid walking on the damp area until it’s completely dry
-
Step 5: Vacuum The Carpet
Leave the area to dry from the cleaning process, then vacuum. You can repeat these steps if necessary.
