How to Get Rid of Carpet Stains Easily Using WD-40?
We get it. You didn’t mean to spill your coffee, or wine, or the ketchup (or perhaps, even gum?) But it happened, and now your precious carpet is stained. How do you get out of this sticky situation? What do you do?
Of course, the best thing to do is to avoid the stains in the first place. But knowing how to clean up stain accidents is fairly important, too. Which is why we’ve come up with two stain-cleaning solutions that don’t need a fancy machine, to help you through.
Often, even the most powerful of vacuum cleaners, carpet cleaners, or home remedies aren’t able to get rid of the most stubborn stains. This is when WD-40 comes in handy. Its activated formula equips you to remove carpet stains within a few minutes!
Things you will need
Sponge
Dry Rag/Towel
Step 1
Get WD-40 Ready For Action
Spray WD-40 directly onto the stain, and wait for the solution to get absorbed. This should take around 20-30 seconds.
Step 2
damp sponge to break the stain bonds
Use a damp sponge to rub it in thoroughly. As you do so for a minute, the solution will work its way under the stain and loosen its bonds, making it easier to wipe off.
Step 3
Clean the spot using a dry rag or towel
Take a dry rag or towel, clean up the damp spot on the carpet thoroughly, and you’re good to go! Just make sure you have enough time, the right supplies, and the willingness to follow through all the steps carefully!
Always your saviour
Although home remedies do a great job on lighter stains, they’re time-consuming and involve many supplies. WD-40 seems like a much more convenient, effective, and quicker way. It truly lives up to its reputation of being a miracle cleaner, even when it comes to stubborn carpet stains like makeup or even candle wax.
