When you find a lump of chocolate in the carpet, are you familiar with the sinking feeling?Don't fret!White, dark, and milk chocolate can be easily removed from synthetic and natural fiber rugs using household products.
Step 1: Act quickly.
After chocolate has been rubbed into the carpet, take action as soon as possible.The longer you leave it, the harder it will be to remove.
Step 2: Excess chocolate can be removed.
If you want to get rid of excess chocolate, you can use a paper towel or a knife.Place the chocolate on a paper towel if you use a knife.To avoid grinding in chocolate, wipe the knife frequently.To make it easier to chip out the chocolate, chill it with an ice cube or frozen package.
Step 3: Look at the carpet type.
Different carpets have different reactions to stain removal techniques.The stain could become permanent if the wrong removal method is used.The types of liquid cleaners that are safe to use will be affected if your carpet is made of natural or synthetic fiber.If you're not sure if your carpet is suitable, contact a professional carpet cleaner.
Step 4: There is a patch test.
If you want to try out any cleaning solutions, you should test a small amount on the carpet.Wait 20 minutes to make sure the product won't damage your carpet.If your carpet becomes brown or lighter in color, rinse it with cold water.Call a professional if you stop.
Step 5: Put on a pair of gloves.
The cleaning solutions have chemicals in them.You might want to put on an old t-shirt just in case.
Step 6: You can make a detergent solution.
The translucent liquid dishwashing detergent Joy or Dawn can be combined with 8 ounces of water.
Step 7: The detergent solution can be applied.
Put a white cloth or paper towel in the detergent solution.For several seconds, press the cloth or paper towel into the stain.Wait for 15 minutes as the detergent removes the stain, then use a clean, dry white cloth or paper towel to remove the excess liquid.Before applying detergent, you should perform a patch test.It's possible that you need to repeat this application a few times.
Step 8: Follow up with a solution of white wine and water.
If you want to make a solution, combine 8 and 16 ounces of white and water.Put a white cloth or paper towel in the solution to remove the stain.For several seconds, press the cloth or paper towel into the stain.Wait for 15 minutes, then wash the area with water.Allow the area to dry.It's important to remove residual detergent from your carpet.That way the dirt won't stick to the treated area.
Step 9: A heavy object can be used to treat stains.
Extra pressure might be needed during the drying process if the stain is bad.Place a heavy object, such as a glass baking dish, on top of the stain and cover it with a thick stack of white paper towels.It should sit for 15 minutes.If the weight is porous, put a plastic bag between it and the paper towel.The weight will be protected and the dye won't leak into the carpet.
Step 10: The area should be cleaned.
Use a damp paper towel or cloth to wet the spot.Allow the area to dry.
Step 11: If the stain continues, apply 3% hydrogen peroxide.
The stain may not be completely removed by the detergent.If this is the case, blot the spot with 3% hydrogen peroxide and allow it to sit for an hour.Continue until the stain is removed.After covering the stain with a kitchen towel and heavy object, allow the area to dry again.Call a carpet cleaning company if you can't remove the stain.Make sure to do a spot test on a part of the carpet that is not visible to the naked eye, because hydrogen peroxide can cause a bleaching effect on carpets.Wait 20 minutes after applying hydrogen peroxide to see the full effects.
