Don’t you just hate it when something edible spills on your carpets? I mean you run 2 separate things at once; your appetite and the precious fabrics of your carpets or upholstery. If you happen to spoil your favorite dessert or mango juice or cranberry sauce onto your upholstery or carpets you are probably never going to forgive yourself for the rest of your life! Are we getting dramatic here? Maybe so but this is the kind of situation that calls for some action, right? Well, let’s not get carried away still.

You do relish your salads and mangoes and strawberries and peaches and pomegranates and what not! All these juices and fruits and delicacies are without a doubt delicious and nutritious but not for your carpet! Yes, and this is the reason why mom always warns against liquids and fluids close to the carpets and expensive upholstery. Kids, are you listening? Cleaning them can be the real chore, ask any carpet cleaning NYC firm.

Fruity Stain Removal

Take for example cranberry, blueberry or mango or any fruit juice or pulp that you might be struggling from. Such fruity stains look cute only on your cheeks and around the mouths of your little kids. Your upholstery and carpets should be kept away from them at all costs. But you can’t be alert 24×7 and that is when the mishap takes place. But don’t panic. Cleaning them can be easy if done right. Let’s start by first removing any excess fruit pulp from the fabric of the upholstery or carpet. Use a knife, preferably a dull one or the blunt edge of it or a spoon for the purpose.

Remember, and I have said it before as well, in case you spill any thick liquid or edible items on your expensive carpets and fabrics, DO NOT even think of wiping it off because that will just push the substance or the pulp or stain deeper into it. Grab a bunch of paper towels or a clean white cotton cloth to simply pick and blot and absorb as much moisture as you can. Now, flush the stained area of the fabric with cold water. Use a mild cleaning solution to break down the spill and dissolve all of it in ample foam. These solutions are the same as most reputed carpet cleaning companies in NYC use and can be found easily over the counter. Spray clean water with a spray bottle and wipe clean the foam without pressing hard. Repeat the procedure and dry it completely to prevent any returning stains on the same spots.
