Carpet Cleaning New Orleans

Eating fried chicken would not be complete unless you have some gravy to make everything come together. Gravy is delicious and can really make your meal even tastier but it can also come with some drawbacks. Sometimes as we eat our crispy fried chicken we can accidentally spill some of the gravy on the carpet and create a mess that’s not exactly easy to clean up. Grave spills can be a very frustrating experience since it can really leave behind a big brown stain as well as an unwanted smell on your carpet.

Dealing with gravy spills can be very tough but with the proper steps you can get it cleaned up without any hassles. Read the guide I have prepared below so that you won’t have to worry about cleaning up gravy spills on your carpet properly anymore.

1. Apply some water onto the gravy spill so as to soak it. This will help in diluting the gravy from the carpet fibers making it easier to remove. After soaking it in water, get a clean white cloth and blot the area to remove the excess gravy. You may be able to clean up the entire spill and the resulting stain using this technique but if you are unsuccessful just proceed to the next step below. More often than not you will be left behind with the gravy stain which can be removed using the succeeding steps.
2. Create a cleaning solution using a teaspoon of non-bleach detergent and a cup of warm water. For the best result, make sure that the water is only warm and not hot. Apply this onto the stained area and let it soak for a few minutes. This will again help in breaking down the stain for you to be able to get it out of the carpet.
3. Get a clean white cloth and start blotting the soiled area. The gravy stain will become lighter as it transfers onto the cloth’s surface. Continue doing this until all of the stain is gone. This may take a while depending on the size of the stain but by repeating this step you can successfully get rid of the stain eventually.
4. With the stain gone, finish the job by rinsing the area with clean water and drying it up using the wet/dry vac. This step will prevent any cleaning solution residue from being left behind on your carpet.

With these simple steps you can effectively get rid of that ugly gravy stain on your carpet. The next time you have a gravy spill, remember the guide above to make your task of cleaning up the mess easier and trouble-free.
