When it comes to using carpet stain removers like Resolve, or Folex or something similar, it's good to keep in mind that these products do not cover all spots and stains. Some stains require a different spotting solution to get the best results. For example, using Resolve or any other over the counter spot remover will not be affective on pet urine stains, or vomit, or blood. So it's good to have some information on how to treat specific spots and stains so you can get the best results and not damage your carpet as well. Vinegar as an example works better on urine because it is an acid based cleaner. Urine is acid as well in its wet state. So treating acid with acid, meaning vinegar acid to acidic urine will yield better results. Over the counter spotters can tend to be over applied and can even pull color from the carpet if not rinsed after use. So if you are going to use the store bought spotters, then it would be a good idea to have a spray bottle of vinegar with water to rinse out the spotter. This also helps to get rid of the soap residue from the spotter so the area will not re-soil again in the same place. A professional carpet cleaner, such as KleenSmart Carpet Cleaning of Huntington Beach Ca. 92649 can offer you some great suggestions on what kind of carpet spot removers can give you the best results. An over the counter spot removers can only delay the inevitable professional cleaning, but regular spot treating your carpet on a regular basis until the professional cleaners arrive will keep your carpet looking clean and presentable and a much more pleasing appearance as well. A couple of ounces on white vinegar in a spray mist bottle will work wonders for many spots and spills. It also kills germs and because of the acidic nature of vinegar, it acts as a natural disinfectant. Some of these over the counter spot removers have so much detergent in them that left on your carpet without rinsing, can build up in the fibers, making them difficult for professional carpet cleaners to fully rinse it out.So, we advise using these over the counter spot removers as directed and use the vinegar mist as a rinse.
