Stains are a part of everyday life and the rug cleaning Melbourne professionals know how to handle stains. Even though you are careful while enjoying a hot cup of coffee, spills are no doubt going to happen. You are enjoying your coffee one minute and the next you are looking at a nasty brown stain on your carpet. The last thing you probably want to do is some heavy duty carpet cleaning or rug cleaning. The experts in carpet cleaning Melbourne services are on hand for your coffee stain needs.

Three steps to get coffee stains from carpeting:

• Absorbing the Liquid
• Blotting the Stain
• Cleaning with Solutions

Absorbing the Liquid

The first thing you should immediately do is to grab either paper towels or a soft rag and absorb as much of the coffee as you can. It may take a few times to get this done but when you no longer see any coffee on the towel or rag, you are set. This will also help the stain from spreading.

Blotting the Stain

Take some fresh, cool water and flush out the stain. Then take a clean rag and blot as much of the water as you can. Do these two steps a few more times to be sure that you have it all. You don’t want to add a lot of water, however as the water will then sink into the carpet and will take forever to dry.

Cleaning with Solutions

Using a small pail or bucket, add two cups of warm water and a squirt of dish soap. You can also add about ½ cup of lemon juice. Using a sponge that has been slightly squeezed, gently rub the stain starting from the outside and working your way in. Rinse with cool water and blot. Now your stain should be gone!
