While carpet cleaning emergencies can strike during any time of the year, they’re especially common when kids are home for summer break. Since kids seem to have an endless supply of energy most of the time, they may be running around inside even after spending the day playing outside.
As they’re running, they may have a drink in their hands. If they spill their drink or bump into one that’s sitting on a table, it can spell disaster for the carpet.
Of all the drink spills that parents dread, Kool-Aid is the worst. As soon as any amount of this drink hits the carpet, it’s going to create a stain that’s impossible not to notice. Because Kool-Aid and similar drink stains are so prominent, Sharp Carpet & Air Duct Cleaning is regularly asked questions about how to clean them. Given that there’s only so much anyone can do to prevent this type of spill from happening, we want to share our knowledge about how to deal with a really tough stain.
The Best Immediate Action to Take
When it comes to addressing this problem, the biggest mistake that Omaha homeowners make is using hot water. Although grabbing hot water and scrubbing away may seem like the best way to get bright red out of your carpet, this action can actually have the opposite effect. Instead of making the stain go away, this approach can permanently lock it into the carpet fibers.
If you’re around when the spill happens, the best immediate action you can take is to gently blot up as much Kool-Aid as possible with an old rag that you don’t mind throwing away. As you’re blotting, you can use cold water to help dilute the stain. Even though you’ll still be left with a stain on your carpet, it will be dull red in color instead of intensely bright.
