If you have purchased a used house, or you have something that leaves rust on your carpet, you may fear that you will need to completely replace the carpet. This is not the case with your carpet cleaning Melbourne professionals, Excellent Cleaning. With the correct carpet cleaning methods, you can remove most stains from your carpet.

Before you toss your rug or carpet, try some of these carpet cleaning techniques:

• Mild Detergent
• Lemon Juice
• Vinegar
• Cream of Tartar paste

Mild Detergent

The first method to try is a mild detergent and warm water. The most common detergent used is a dish detergent. To be successful in cleaning the stain and not damaging your carpet, you will want to blot the stain with a sponge and then use a clean towel to soak up the stain. You may have to repeat this method a couple times before rinsing with clean water.

Lemon Juice

If the detergent is unsuccessful at lifting the stain, you may want to try acid. One acid that is often effective at pulling a rust stain from the carpet is lemon juice. Put some lemon juice into a spray bottle and add a touch of salt. Then all you have e to do is spray the carpet and let it sit for a few hours. Finally, go back and use a damp cloth to blot the stain.

Vinegar

Another acid to try to in removing a rust stain is vinegar. Vinegar should be poured onto the stain and let it soak. Return after two to three hours and take a damp cloth to blot the liquid. You may find the need to repeat this method a couple times to completely remove the stain.

Cream of Tartar Paste

If all other methods have failed, before you toss the rug, try making a paste with cream of tartar powder and water. Gently rub the paste into the stain and then let it work. After about five minutes, return with a damp sponge and blot the residue.
