Is it a Good Idea to Pre-Treat Carpet Stains Before Cleaning?
Filed under: Carpet Cleaning
Homeowners often turn to the internet to find information about their carpet. While some of the information online can be helpful, there are a few common myths that could potentially cause damage to your carpet. Before you start mixing a DIY solution for carpet stains, it is best to talk to the professionals for personalized recommendations.
Pre-Treating Carpet Stains
Read online, and you will find many sources that encourage homeowners to pre-treat carpet stains before the professional cleaners come to work on your carpets. The problem is that there are many types of stains, and pre-treating certain spots could cause the dyes to set into the carpet.
In other instances, it is pointless to pre-treat the stain. If you are trying to clean a stain from synthetic dyes in kid’s juice drinks, candy, or Jell-O, then pre-treating the stain won’t do much for the carpet. These foods are made with synthetic dyes that come from petroleum, which penetrates the fibers of the carpet. Pre-treating the stain could cause the color to fade, but the stain will remain… and it will be more difficult to get rid of the stain when the professional team arrives.
