Shaving Cream is Great at Removing Stains on Carpets

02B62657You may not believe it but shaving cream can be a great asset when you have a stain on carpeting. It doesn’t matter how old the carpeting is, whether it’s brand new or has been in your home for many years; if you have a stain you want to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

Maybe this is a type of stain you didn’t notice when it first happened. Maybe a child of yours spilled a drink and tried to cover it up. Maybe a pet had an accident and you were too busy running around putting everything done and didn’t notice. Whatever the case, there are many ways to deal with stains. One of them is to rely on shaving cream.

How to use shaving cream to remove stains on carpets.

Take shaving cream, spread it on the stain and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Next, you want to blot the shaving cream up with a damp cloth. Don’t rub the stain as this is only working it deeper into the carpet pile, making it much more difficult to remove.

Once you have all of the shaving cream up, apply a mixture of one part vinegar and one part water, blotted up, and repeat as necessary.

You should notice the stain is pretty much gone at this point. However, this isn’t going to work for every type of stain, nor will it address various odors, such as pet urine.

The best solution is to call an experienced and professional carpet cleaning service, one that has truck mounted equipment and a great deal of experience. If you choose to use shaving cream trying to rid of the stain, test it on an inconspicuous part of the carpeting to ensure it won’t bleach or otherwise damage the carpeting.
