Carpets in the household or the offices are a great investment. Apart from adding a classy look, it makes the whole place relaxing as well. Carpet cleaning may already sound like a hassle as it is in as much as carpet damages are. The said damages are a bit scary soon as we notice them. However, when we can still prevent or apply a home remedy, it would prolong your carpet’s life or delay carpet repairs in Auckland.

When we have kids or guests in the house, it is inevitable for spills to occur. Spilled gravy is not an exemption. If improperly cleaned, it could invite pests that would rather cause damage to your carpet. While we might worry about what damage it might cause our carpets, it would be best to get equipped with recommended DIY knowledge.

In this article, allow me to walk you through how to easily remove spilled gravy from your carpet so you will no longer stress yourself out.

What You Need to Prepare:

  • 2 pcs Clean White Cloth (These will be used to blot liquid.)
  • 2 Tablespoons (To use in scooping the gravy stain and the other for spreading the baking powder)
  • 1 Liter Cold Water (or depending on how massive the spilled gravy is)
  • 2 tbsp Baking Soda Powder (or depending on how massive the spilled gravy is, add more)
  • 1 tsp Dishwashing Liquid
  • 1 cup water
  • Plastic Sprinkler
  • Vacuum

The Procedure:

  1. Using a spoon, scoop the spilled gravy as much as you can. This helps minimize the stain that needs to be cleaned up.
  2. Sprinkle baking soda on the spot and work on it with a spoon.
  3. Once the baking soda has been thoroughly sprinkled out, vacuum it up.
  4. Mix one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid with 1 cup of water. Agitate the mixture well.
  5. Spray the said mixture on the spot.
  6. Blot the spot using a clean white cloth.
  7. Flush with water and then blot properly until dry.

DIYs are quite interesting. However, you have to make sure to only follow procedures that have been suggested by experts or those with awesome reviews. Nowadays, it’s easy to validate the effectiveness of procedures and services especially when they are all about our priced investments. Carpet damages may be terrifying but there will always be solutions including but not limited to carpet repairs Auckland and do-it-yourself methods. Don’t stress yourself out so much. We’ve been in the business since 1987 so we’ve been exposed to numerous carpet situations. When trapped with any carpet stains or damages, feel free to leave a comment below.
