Food coloring is a great way to add a bit of fun to your food, whether you want to make purple cookies or red cake frosting—the possibilities are nearly endless. Of course, if you have carpeting in your kitchen or in another room where you’re working with food coloring, you have to know that it’s possible that you could spill the bottle of food coloring. Since food coloring is basically a dye, you shouldn’t let it settle into your carpeting. Can you get out the stain yourself or should you call a professional carpet cleaning company in Exton, PA? When do you know if it’s necessary to hire experts? Keep reading for some guidance.
- Clean up the stain as soon as possible. While it may be tempting to leave stains for a few hours or even a few days before you expend the effort to clean them, don’t delay! Yes, you’re a busy person—with or without a family to care for—and yes, you have to tend to your job and other household responsibilities. However, not immediately cleaning up a stain is a bad idea because leaving a stain on carpeting for too long could make the situation worse and much more difficult to remove the discoloration.
- Proper carpet cleaning or Oriental rug cleaning involves gently blotting the area with a paper towel or cloth, then wetting the area with a little bit of cool water.
- Spray the area with vinegar spray and let it sit, then dab the carpet. Repeat this procedure until the stain goes away.
If the stain doesn’t disappear, don’t panic because there’s still hope. To succeed, you need to contact professionals for help.
