Carpet Catastrophes: The Top 5 Spills to Avoid at All Costs

Accidental spills on carpets are a common occurrence, but certain things can cause more than just a little inconvenience—they can leave lasting damage that’s difficult to reverse. Here are the top five spills to avoid at all costs.

1. Coffee and Tea

If you can’t find a carpet cleaner particularly made for these drinks, or a coffee remover, the carpet stain may be there to stay.

2. Red Wine

Red wine can create stubborn stains due to the rich colour. When dealing with liquid spills, blot the area gently to remove excess liquid and organise to have a Drytron professional carpet cleaner come around to properly tackle the problem.

3. Ink

Avoid trying to get out ink spills by yourself as you can actually push the ink deeper into the fibres.

4. Grease or Oil

Grease or oil spills not only stain but can attract dirt and dust, doubling the problem.

5. Bleach

Ironically, bleach, often used for cleaning, can cause the most damage to the colour of your carpet. Since there’s no way to “remove” bleach stains, prevention is crucial. Always be cautious when using any products containing bleach near carpets.

Remember, applying home remedies to your spills may damage or discolour your carpet. Resist the urge to try it at home and get in touch with Drytron’s friendly expert team.
