A Few Seasonal Tips                                                                                                

That feared Red Wine spill on your new carpet,   don’t panic - but do act fast. The sooner you can work on removing the stain, the easier it will come out, do not allow it to dry.  There are a few ways of treating the stain but take care.

Add a Little Salt   Shake a thick layer of salt over the red wine stain to prevent it from spreading and setting. Then, when you are ready to treat the stain, remove or vacuum the salt.   Beware the salt may 

remove colour from your carpet if it is left too long.

White Wine  When it comes to red wine stain removal, try white wine which counteracts the red wine and makes it easier to remove the original red wine stain. Simply pour a small amount of white wine over the red wine stain and blot with a clean, absorbent towel. Be sure never to rub or wipe at red wine stained fabric, as this will only set the stain deeper within the fabric. Once you have blotted as much of the stain as possible, treat any stain remnants in the 

manner below.

 

Water, Vinegar and Soap  The water, vinegar and soap method is best applied immediately after blotting the red wine stain with a clean, white cloth or paper towel. Next, combine one tablespoon of dish soap or detergent with one tablespoon white vinegar and two cups lukewarm water. Apply the water, vinegar and soap mixture to the stain using a clean towel. Blot the stain with a clean, dry towel as you go. Once the stain is gone, blot the area using a clean rag with cold water. Finally, blot the area once again with a clean, dry cloth.

Another Christmas spill is Candle Wax -  which has dripped from the candle stick holder over onto you carpet just when you weren’t watching.

You'll need: Ice cubes, paper towels, n iron, powdered starch, cornflour or talcum powder and dry cleaning fluid

Remove as much of the excess wax as possible. Make it easier for yourself by first chilling the area. Place ice-cubes in a plastic bag. Leave it on the spot with the candlewax for a few minutes. Scrape off the wax bits.

Place paper towels onto the wax residue. Heat your iron up to a moderately hot temperature. Iron over the paper towels. You might have to repeat this with mutiple paper towels.

Coloured candle drips leave a stain. Mix a paste of talcum powder, cornflour or powdered starch and dry cleaning fluid. Work this into the pile. A thick paste of borax and water has the same effect. Vacuum your carpet when it dries and it should be as good as new!
