There is nothing worse than when you have a stain on your carpet. The stain can make the room look bad and the house seem dirty. There are lots of stains that are hard to get out of your carpet but one that is quite common is Kool aid. Kool aid is a sugary drink that you make in a pitcher at home. The juice can then be poured into a glass or cup to drink. Although it is not a great healthy choice for kids they sure do love it and lots of parents offer it up. The juice is usually a bright vibrant color that will cause a stain to occur quite quickly. The problem is that the spill can happen fast and before you know it your toddler has dropped the full cup on the ground. You want to be able to clean the stain before it sets in and doing that will require you to have the right steps necessary.
Steam Green Carpet Cleaning Outlines the Steps You Should Take When Someone Spills Kool Aid On Your Carpet
Quick Carpet Stain Removal: The first step that you need to take when cleaning a spill from Kool aid is to get to the spot as quick as you can. This is really true for any spill. The longer that any substance is allowed to sit on the carpet the more it will soak into the fibers. This will make it much more difficult to remove from the carpet. If you see the spill happen you want to jump right into working on it or as soon as you notice it. Grab a clean cloth that you use for cleaning your carpets. White is a great rag to use and dab at the area of the spill. Dabbing is best because it will prevent the spill from getting any larger and spreading out. The excess moisture is removed during the dabbing process where you place pressure down the spot. You may need to use more than one rag to get the moisture out.
Soak it With Carpet Cleaner: The next step is to get a cleaner that will work on your carpets. There are lots of options at the store that you can pick up but they could damage your carpets. The better option is if you make your own cleaner using supplies that you can find around your home. Start with a standard spray bottle which is a great place to make the cleaner and store it for later use. Then add a tablespoon of dish soap and fill the remaining bottle with warm water. You want to soak the area and allow it to sit on the spot for about 10 minutes. Then use the same procedure of downward pressure with a clean rag. You can repeat this process several times if it is necessary.
