Dealing With Food Stains On Your Carpet

Accidents happen, and food stains on your carpet are almost inevitable. Whether it’s sauce spills, dropped food, or cooking mishaps, knowing how to handle these stains can save your carpet from permanent damage. Here are some effective tips for dealing with various food stains on carpet.

Act Quickly

The key to preventing a food stain from setting in is to act immediately. As soon as a spill occurs, blot the area with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the carpet fibres.

Blotting Liquids

For liquid spills like sauces, soups, or beverages, blot the spill gently with a cloth or paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible. Work from the outside of the spill towards the centre to prevent spreading.

Solid Food Spills

When dealing with solid food spills, use a spoon or dull knife to carefully lift the food off the carpet. Avoid pressing down, as this can grind the food into the fibres. After removing the solid particles, blot the area with a damp cloth to pick up any remaining residue.
