This is for those stubborn and nasty stains that your creams, body lotions, oils and serums leave behind on your beautiful carpets. Yes, rings a sharp bell doesn’t it? This is the case with a lot of families in Washington DC. Your dogs and finches are all fond of your face cream and particularly your body lotions. You can’t leave them alone with those bottles for even one second because you know you will be returning to a scene of disaster later on. Your kids are not any different. They are as curious as little monkeys and there are times that you just can’t do much to prevent your expensive body lotions and cream from spilling on your Carpet Cleaning DC. Well, it doesn't really matter who dropped the lotion or cream. The bottom line is that it belongs on your pretty face and not your clothes, Persian carpets or shiny Indian upholstery.

Make DIY carpet cleaning easy in Washington DC with the following tips:

Knife It Up
You need to keep some sharp edged spatulas or knives handy for such incidents. Your lotions and creams are usually thick in consistency and therefore that delays the process of absorption in the carpets and upholstery fabrics. All you have to do is grip the knife or the spatula at a slant and then slowly pick all the lotion or spill from the surface of the fabric. This technique is particularly useful if there are no long fibers or tassels hanging from the affected area. Since many creams and moisturizers have an oily component, it will not absorb that quickly. Remember, not to wipe the residue once you have removed the entire spill with the knife or spoon. This will further push the liquid into the surface of the carpet fabric (Carpet Cleaning Washington DC).

Wash It Up
Next what you can do is use a good brand of commercial carpet cleaning liquid or solution on it. You can also mix one tablespoon of dish washing detergent in water. Now dip a clean cotton cloth into the solution and work from the outside to the inner edge of the stain. This prevents the stain from becoming bigger in area. Sponge the stain and continue blotting until you see no more lotion. Dry it thoroughly and you are done.
