Make sure you always test new cleaning products for discolouration on a small patch of inconspicuous carpet before using it on a larger area..Step 4: Repeat Until the Stain Has Been Removed.

For light stains, a single application of cleaning solution may be enough.But for more stubborn stains you’ll probably need to repeat step three multiple times.. You’ll know when this technique has reached its limit when either the stain isn’t visible or ketchup is no longer being absorbed by the clean cloth.. As we mentioned, make sure you’re always blotting rather than rubbing at the stain.Repeatedly rubbing a patch of carpet fibres can cause damage and discolouration..

Step 5: Rinse With Cold Water.As a final cleaning step, use another clean cloth to gently sponge the previously stained area with cold water.

Then use a dry cloth to blot the area dry..

This removes any remaining washing up liquid and leaves the area clean.Vacuum the area first.. Use paper towels or a white cloth to blot excess moisture away.

Stay away from coloured cloth, as the dye can transfer..Mix white vinegar 50:50 with water and pour into a spray bottle..

Apply to the carpet, working from the outside-in, so it doesn’t spread the stain further.Give the carpet a good soaking but don’t saturate it, then leave it to work for at least five minutes.. Blot the area to remove the vinegar solution, then rinse with clean water to remove any vinegar residue.. Blot a final time to remove excess moisture.. Leave the carpet to air dry.
