How to Have a Stain-Free Home After a Party

If you are hosting a party, one of the biggest concerns is keeping your home stain-free throughout the evening. Events are fun but can be a nightmare when it is time to clean up. You are probably worried about your carpets getting soaked in red wine and other drinks, as well as food and sauces. These things can quickly ruin your carpets and you could end up replacing them.

There is nothing to fear though. With years of experience in carpet cleaning and maintenance, Veritas Carpet Cleaning will make it easy for you. Here are some fail-safe tips that will keep your carpets and rooms tidy even when the guests are beginning to get disorderly:

1. Blot the spills quickly.

Red wine is the biggest nemesis of your light-colored carpet. You may have heard that you should sprinkle salt on the carpet. However, this belief has been proven to only make it worse. Red wine contains tannins, which can set permanently with salt.

The trick is to get rid of the moisture as quickly as you can. Use a paper towel or a white cloth for blotting as much moisture as possible. You can then apply a stain removal product or even baking soda. Leave it there for a few minutes to an hour depending on the intensity of the spill. You can then wash with water and blot again.

When using a product, read the instructions and follow them to avoid damaging the carpets.

2. Be smart with broken glass.

Sometimes, guests can shatter some wineglasses and it can be a hassle to pick the shards up. It can be difficult to sweep the area on your own. A handy trick that you can do here is to use a slice of bread and let it pick up the fragments on the floor.

3. Take care of candle wax drips.

Lighting up candles in the room can give the party a warm atmosphere. However, candles come with hazards. They can start fires if they come in contact with any object. Sometimes, the wax may drip onto the carpet and you may not know how to get rid of it.

There is nothing for you to panic about though. Make sure that you let the wax dry first until it becomes hard. Then, you can tackle it with an ice pack. It will be much easier for you to remove the hardened wax. You should not forget to let the carpet dry though. This way, you will not have to worry about bigger issues, such as mold.

4. Know what to do with chocolate spills.

If you are serving chocolate pudding or anything dark-colored, it can become a problem if a guest drops a dollop on your newly washed carpet. If it left a thick mark, we recommend using ice to harden the chocolate. You can then scrape it gently or use a stain remover to get rid of the remaining patches.

Keeping your carpets and your home stain-free should not be a problem. Veritas Carpet Cleaning is here to give you great results, not just for your carpets but your upholstery, furniture, and tiles. We will keep them all sparkling clean so you can be ready for your next party.
