Tough Stains

Professional cleaning is always our first recommendation for tough stains.  Advise cleaners to use low heat steam setting to avoid damaging the fibers.  For do-it-yourself tough stain removal, the following steps are recommended:

  1. Prepare a solution of 1 ounce of bleach and 1/4 ounce of mild soap per 16 ounces of water.
  2. Spray on the entire area and allow it to soak into the rug for 15 minutes.
  3. Blot entire surface area with a sponge or clean towel.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with water only to remove all soap residue.
  5. Air dry.
Specifically for Urine
  1. Combine 1/4 cup of dishwashing liquid and 1/2 cup of white vinegar per 1 gallon of water, or use commercial cleaner options such 303 ® Multi-Purpose Cleaner or Resolve®.
  2. Spray on the entire area and allow to soak into the rug for 15 minutes.
  3. Blot entire surface area with a sponge or clean towel.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with water only to remove all soap residue.
  5. Air dry.
