There is no such thing in Los Angeles or beyond as a fully stain proof carpet. No matter how hard you seek this out and no matter what any carpet sales center employee in Los Angeles tells you it is just not possible to find.
While many of today's carpets come pre treated with stain resistant chemicals you want to keep on top of your carpets and carpet cleaning in order to maintain the look, the appearance, that you have come to expect from your flooring.
By keeping a watchful eye for stains and soiling, and making sure there is not a lot of wear and tear such as high traffic you can avoid the pitfalls that many become victim to with their carpets.
Dirty carpets, tearing, rips and discoloration can all be avoided with proper maintenance and regular carpet cleaning, and during the "down time", when accidents are most likely due to occur your attention is most certainly required.
Anytime you notice a stain or one has just been made be sure to act as quickly as possible. This will help you to have the upper hand in the situation and by being pro active you will most likely be able to fend of any permanent damage, so don't delay!
If wine, fruit juice or any other highly staining substance has fallen to the carpet you really only have a few minutes before it becomes a fixture.
You will not want to scrub the area where the stain has occurred simply because this will only dig the staining material deeper in to your carpets fibers and cause a distortion in your carpeting's pile.
The most effective method here is to blot at the stained area with warm water. While hot water may sound like a good idea, your carpeting may not be able to handle the temperature that you are using, so always be sure to use warm water.
Any time you are cleaning anything from your carpeting be sure to only use a white and clean paper towel, towel or other absorbing type of cloth. Colored materials have dyes and this can be especially bad for your lighter colored carpeting.
By acting quickly you have been able to meet the stain head on and remove it with easy blotting and the use of warm water. After you have done this you will want to dry the area with dry cloths or paper towels (again white in color and clean) in the same blotting fashion you've previously used.
Damp carpeting allows for dirt and dust particles to become trapped as well as allowing for moisture to infiltrate your padding and cause possible mold or mildew.
