Tips & Tricks for Carpet Care

It's never a good day when you get a spill on a new carpet - believe me.  At ServiceMaster of Greater Bridgeport we have over 30 years expertise in how to properly care for carpeting.  Below are a couple of tips for removing some of the most common spots and spills:

Red Wine - Use club soda to flush the wine from carpet fibers

Soft drinks - Blot the area with a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar, 2 parts water) then blot with a detergent solution (1 teaspoon detergent with 1 quart water)

Gum - Freeze it with ice and use a dull knife to chisel it off.

Latex paint - Soak with dish detergent diluted with 20 parts water.  Agitate the area, blot, rinse, and blot again.

Pet Urine - Dampen area with equal parts white vinegar and water.  Then blot dry.

Keep in mind these are only tips and cannot guarantee perfect results.  If you are not comfortable doing it on your own please give us a call at 1-203-386-1565!  We have special proprietary products that work on most spills and spots!
