How to Clean Ice-Cream Stains from your Carpet
Ice-cream is a great desert and I can swear that I do not know of any person that does not enjoy this tasty temptation. It tastes even better when you share it with friends and there is a wide selection of flavours so anyone can satisfy his appetite. I do not recommend to consummate it regularly, though. Today's ice-cream industry uses a lot of preservatives and ingredients that are actually really bad for your health. Not to mention that powdered milk is used in ice-cream making instead of pasteurized milk. But ice-cream is not only bad for you, it can be pretty bad for one of your carpets if you drop some of it. Here's guide on how to remove ice-cream stains from your carpets.
The first thing that you must do when you indicate an ice-cream spot on your carpet is to scrape as much of it as you can before it melts down. Use whatever tool you have at hand (a simple spoon will do the trick). In any case, do not let the ice-cream to stay there for too long. Once it melts, the stain will settle deep into your carpet's fibers. This will induce the manifestation of more and more dangerous bacteria. Also, it will provide a food source for all the house dust mites in your carpet. Wait, you don't know what a dust mite is? Well, think of it as a microscopic spidery creature that inhabits almost every place in your home that has some dust on it. Both bacteria and dust mites are extremely dangerous for your health. According to one of the largest London carpet cleaning companies, house dust mites are major inducers of allergic reactions and diseases to the respiratory system of humans. Their presence shouldn't be tolerated in any case.
Back to the ice-cream stain now. In order to remove it completely from your carpet you'll need to prepare a carpet cleaning solution. You don't have to buy one of those expensive commercial carpet cleaning products. Not only that it will cost you a lot, but also by using such a product you're dealing a lot of damage to the environment. There is also a chance of inducing some harm on your health too. Manufactured carpet cleaning products contain a lot of different harsh chemicals and you might be allergic to one of them. Even if you don't have a medical condition, the vaporisation of these chemicals can be fatal to you. Exposure to such vapours can be the cause of lung cancer so be extremely careful when it comes to using these products. Green cleaning is the right choice. You can get rid of that stain by making a carpet cleaning solution by yourself. A simple mixture of some mild dish-washing detergent and water should be enough to clean such a stain. Moisten a clean cotton cloth with the carpet cleaning solution and scrub the stain until it's gone. After that rinse the treated area with warm water and hang your carpet somewhere to air dry.
Unfortunately, this won't be enough to get rid of all the little monsters hiding in your carpet. No matter how often you vacuum it and no matter what kind of procedures you're putting it under in home there's no way for you to kill all of them. It is required to take a more serious measure. Contact a professional carpet cleaning company and use their services. Carpet cleaning professionals have the necessary equipment that is needed for a full deep cleaning. After this procedure there will be no trace left of any germs or dust mites. It is recommended that you put your carpet under this type of cleaning after a few months to keep the bacteria and mite count to a minimum.
