Eliminate Carpet Chemical Stains and Spots

Your carpet adds to the beauty and value of your home. With proper maintenance, such as regular vacuuming and periodic cleaning, your home's carpet can last between 15 and 20 years. Unfortunately, due to carpet stains and carpet spots, most homeowners replace their carpet long before it's worn.



Indeed, carpet stains can be the bane of a homeowner's existence. Attempts at stain removal often serve as a temporary fix, but over time, the carpet stains may reappear. The resulting frustration often causes homeowners to prematurely replace their carpeting.



Even more frustrating are the increasingly common carpet spots that result from the spillage of household products. The same ingredients that make many cleaning products so effective can wreak havoc on a carpet. Carpet spots made by bleach stains and other household chemicals will cause permanent discoloration of the carpet. Unlike food carpet stains, chemical carpet spots destroy the dye in the carpet, making carpet spots impossible to clean using traditional methods.



The number and variety of chemical substances that can cause carpet spots and carpet

stains boggle the mind. Chlorine bleaches, swimming pool chemicals, stomach acid, toilet bowl cleaners, drain cleaners, oven cleaners, urine, insecticides, fertilizers, and even certain types of medication and cosmetic aids can damage carpets and render ordinary stain removal methods ineffective.



When you're faced with unsightly bleach stains and carpet spots, what are your options? Many people feel that their only option is to replace the carpet in their home, which is a very expensive proposition. For 1,500 square feet, the cost of buying and installing carpeting can cost $8,000 or more. If you have some leftover original carpet, you can hire a professional to cut out the carpet spots and insert plugs of leftover carpet. This is also expensive, and will run several hundred dollars. You can opt for professional carpet dyeing, but that can also cost many hundreds of dollars.



Many people never consider an effective and inexpensive option for repairing bleach stains and carpet spots: do-it-yourself carpet dye. A do-it-yourself carpet dye kit is cost-effective and can produce terrific results with very little effort. And, since

no appointments are needed and you don't have to take time off of work, there's very little hassle involved in undertaking stain removal yourself.



Most nylon and wool carpets are repairable using carpet dye, and upwards of 90 percent of all carpets are nylon or wool. According to ecarpetstains.com, a leader in do-it-yourself carpet dye kits, you simply need to send in a carpet sample (cut from leftover carpet or from the corner of a closet) and a description of the carpet stains. They will send you a custom do-it-yourself carpet spot dye kit that will match the color of your existing carpet. With a few simple steps, you can eliminate your carpet spots and treat your carpet to the long life it deserves.
