If you have kids and a carpet, you’ve likely dealt with this problem before. Even if you’re an adults-only household, you probably have either had to live with or live in fear of the nightmare of soda or fruit juice stains on the carpet.
Either way, if you have a nice carpet, you can do whatever you can to protect it, but sooner or later you are going to need to know how to remove juice or soda from a carpet. Here is a method that should help, along with tips for getting soda stains out of a carpet.
3 Simple Steps for Getting Liquid Stains Out of Carpet
Whether you are dealing with a juice stain or a soda stain, follow these three steps:
1. Soak up What You Can as Soon as Possible
As soon as the stain occurs, get on it with a paper towel or white rag — dyed rags could bleed color onto the carpet — and blot the area. Blot from outside the stain inward and do not rub, as this could work the stain further into the carpet fibers.
2. Wet Down the Stained Area
Once no more juice or soda is coming onto your towel from blotting, wet down the area with a damp rag or spray bottle to moisten the area and help additional juice or soda separate from the carpet. Repeat the blotting procedure.
3. Apply Cleaning Solution
You can make a safe, effective stain removing solution by combining a tablespoon of your favorite dishwashing liquid with two cups of warm water. Make sure you’re not treating the stain with anything containing bleach or lanolin, which can ruin your carpet. Soak a sponge in the solution and work it into the carpet, then blot the area with a paper towel. Repeat until the stain is gone, then spray the area with water and blot again to get rid of any residual detergent.
