To remove stains under a carpet, first test a hidden area. Sprinkle baking soda on the stain. In a spray bottle, mix one cup of white vinegar, one cup of water, and a few drops of dish soap. Spray the mixture on the stain, let it absorb for 10 minutes, then blot it and rinse with water.
If stains persist, a commercial carpet cleaner may be necessary. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use. Always test a small area before applying any cleaning solution to avoid damaging the carpet. After cleaning, rinse the area with cool water, and let it dry thoroughly. Then, vacuum the carpet to restore its texture.
Once you have successfully removed the stains, ensure the underlying problem is addressed. Mold or moisture under the carpet can cause stains to return. In the next section, we will explore how to prevent these issues and maintain a clean, stain-free carpet for the long term.
