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.
