Carpets are prone to stains, but with the right techniques and products, you can effectively remove them. Here’s a guide to tackling 10 of the most common carpet stains:
 
  1. Coffee and Tea: Blot the stain with a clean cloth to absorb excess liquid. Mix one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent with two cups of cool water. Blot the stain with the solution until it’s lifted, then rinse with water.

  2. Red Wine: Blot the stain with a clean cloth, being careful not to spread it. Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent and two cups of warm water. Blot the stain with the solution until it’s lifted, then rinse with water.

  3. Grease and Oil: Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch over the stain to absorb excess grease. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then vacuum it up. Blot the remaining stain with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol until it’s lifted, then rinse with water.

  4. Pet Urine: Blot the stain with a clean cloth to absorb as much urine as possible. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water and apply it to the stain. Blot with a clean cloth until the stain is lifted, then rinse with water.

  5. Ink: Blot the stain with a clean cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol. Repeat until the ink is lifted, then rinse with water.

  6. Blood: Blot the stain with a cloth dampened with cold water. Mix one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent with two cups of cold water. Blot the stain with the solution until it’s lifted, then rinse with water.

  7. Tomato Sauce: Scrape off any excess sauce with a spoon. Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent and two cups of warm water. Blot the stain with the solution until it’s lifted, then rinse with water.

  8. Chocolate: Freeze the chocolate with ice cubes or a freezer pack, then scrape off the excess. Mix one teaspoon of dishwashing detergent with one cup of warm water. Blot the stain with the solution until it’s lifted, then rinse with water.

  9. Juice: Blot the stain with a clean cloth to absorb excess liquid. Mix one tablespoon of ammonia with one cup of warm water. Blot the stain with the solution until it’s lifted, then rinse with water.

  10. Grass: Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent and two cups of warm water. Blot the stain with the solution until it’s lifted, then rinse with water.

Remember to always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet first to ensure it doesn’t cause damage. Additionally, blot stains instead of rubbing to prevent them from spreading further. With these techniques, you can effectively remove common carpet stains and keep your carpets looking fresh and clean.

Client Reviews & Testimonials

google logoI hired Everette to clean and repair some heavily damaged and soiled carpet. I really didn’t have much hope that it would ever look good again, but it looks great. I was very impressed with their work and they were very patient with me as well. I had to cancel with them twice, but they worked with my busy schedule to get it done for me. I highly recommend them. They are also a family-owned, small business. A big plus in my book.

~ Scott Myers 

google logoJamal and Quincy were fantastic, friendly, and professional from the first call, quote, and through the repairs as well. They’re pricing was fair and their work was done quickly and extremely well. I highly recommend this company.

I’ve used Everette Carpet Care twice at my rental property. The first time was to stretch the carpet, and they did a great job for a fair price. Jamal showed up on time, explained the process, and got the work done quickly.

I then had him come back to clean the carpets in my basement. I called him yesterday and he was able to come out today without any issue. He did a fantastic job, and got out all the stains (of which there were many), and the price was very reasonable! They are very professional, hard working, and provide great customer service.

~ Rick Hoydis

google logoWe recently purchased our home and needed the carpets throughout deep cleaned and some carpets stretched. Jamal, Donovan and Quincy arrived on time and walked the property with me thoroughly inspecting the carpets. Our master bedroom had two particularly tough stains to remove. Jamal tried several different techniques all of which helped but the carpet was just too far gone. To our surprise the company policy is “if they can’t clean the carpet-they’ll install them for free!” We now have beautiful new carpet!

google logoThis business is PERFECT for fixing damage to an Apartment carpet!! I had animal tears and damage to my carpet next to my bedroom door. My Apartment told me they would have to replace my WHOLE carpet for 4 inches worth of damage. These guys were phenomenal and did such an AMAZING job! Thank you so much! I will be using your carpet cleaning services soon!

~ Laken Harper

google logoContacted Everette Carpet Care & Restoration for carpet cleaning. My family recently welcomed a dog into our home and he had an accident. I wanted to get the carpet cleaned immediately. Jamal reached out quickly after I submitted my appointment form, understood the urgency of my request, and scheduled carpet cleaning within the next few days. Jamal and team showed up for the appointment enthusiastic and ready to get to work. They truly care about the quality of their work and took their time. It shows as my carpet looks newer than ever; pup accident odor and stain has been completely removed.

~ Migdali Delgado

google logoWe had Jamal come out to repair some water damaged carpet and pad, and clean the area. Extremely pleasant group to work with, and very satisfied with their service. Scheduling was flexible and he was always responsive. We would definitely recommend his services to others in Northern Virginia.
