Carpet Chaos Control: A Host’s Guide to Surviving Holiday Party Spills

Step 1: Act Quickly

The key to effective carpet stain removal is to act swiftly. The longer a spill sits on your carpet, the harder it becomes to clean. As a cleaning service expert, we recommend:

• Blot the spill immediately with a clean, dry cloth or paper towels to soak up as much liquid as possible.
• Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can push it deeper into the fibers and spread it.

Step 2: Identify the Stain

Step 3: Gentle Blotting and Cleaning

Step 4: Club Soda for Wine Stains

Wine spills are a holiday classic. To tackle them:

• Blot as much wine as possible.
• Pour club soda over the stain.
• Blot again, and repeat until the stain lightens.

Step 5: Ice for Candle Wax

Candle wax spills can be tricky, but not impossible:

• Place ice in a plastic bag and gently press it onto the wax to harden it.
• Carefully scrape off the hardened wax with a butter knife.
• Follow up with a warm, soapy solution to remove any residue.

Step 6: Baking Soda for Odors

• If the party left behind unpleasant odors, sprinkle baking soda on the carpet and let it sit for a few hours before vacuuming. Baking soda helps absorb odors and refreshes the carpet.

Step 7: Professional Cleaning

• For stubborn stains or if you want a deep clean after the holiday season, consider hiring SheSoClean (if there is a branch in your area.) They have the expertise and equipment to revitalize your carpets and remove even the toughest stains.
