How to Remove Cooking Oil from your Carpet

Did your fryer chicken cooking experiment become a little more taxing than you thought? You aren’t the first to think this way! The point? Many households have experienced a cooking incident during one time or another. Amongst the most common cooking incidents will result from cooking oil. 

The issue? This substance is messy and extremely challenging to eliminate! Firstly, what’s cooking oil comprised of? It consists of triglycerides that are hydrogen and carbon atoms. In essence, such oil is processed of natural ingredients like olives, sesame seeds, peanuts, and so on. There also are ‘blended oils’ that consist of various natural substances that are also challenging to get out of the carpet. Here are a few ideas for eliminating cooking oil from your carpet:

Follow these measures: Firstly, blend dish washing detergent and hot water into a five gallon bucket. Next, pour four to five oz. inside a spray bottle. Then, spray the soiled space using a soapy solution and lightly agitate using a toothbrush. Utilize a soft circular motion for the agitating.

If not, you may damage your carpet fiber from an overabundance of a rubbing motion or pressure. Use the dry/wet vacuum to eliminate the now dingy solution from your carpet. Get rid of as much of this soapy solution as you can. The cleansing solution breaks down the cooking oil, yet the vacuum suction will be what eliminates the cooking oil from your carpet.

As you achieve the desired results from the measure above, you must rinse the soiled space with clean, warm water. Therefore, empty the five gallon bucket, then refill with clean, warm water. Pour one cup of clean water right on the stained space and lightly agitate. Vacuum immediately.

As said above, complete vacuuming is important. Follow this measure until the desired result is achieved. As the soapy suds are fully gone the process will be complete. The oil ought to come up. If not, call in the professionals.
