It is a common occurrence yet some still do not know the right way to approach cleaning up this kind of mess. Not knowing the basics of cleaning up food and drink spills can really put rug owners at a disadvantage and their carpets at serious risk of long-term damage.
Whether you are having a party at your home or are just eating in the living room, spills can happen without a moment's notice. This is why learning how to properly clean them up is essential. Here are some basic rug cleaning tips for food and drink spills, which you can use the next time, you are in this kind of situation.
  • Immediately Pick Up or Scoop Up the Spilled Item - Whether it is liquid or solid, it is important that you pick up or scoop up the excess spillage as much as possible to avoid making the problem worse. If you are dealing with liquid food or drink spills, get a clean sponge and absorb as much of the excess liquid as you can. For solid food spills, carefully pick up the loose particles using your hands.

  • Blot the Spilled Area - After removing the excess food or drink spilled on the rug, the next basic step that you need to do is to blot the area with a clean white cloth or paper towels. This will help remove the excess moisture and to lessen the chances of it staining the rug. Pouring some warm water onto the stain before blotting will help get you better results in removing the spill or stain.

  • Detergent Cleaning Solutions Work Great with Food and Drink Stains - When faced with food and drink spills or stains, using a cleaning solution made out of a solution of one teaspoon of laundry detergent (non-bleach) and a cup of warm water. This will be sure to get rid of any stains and spills coming from food and drinks. Apply this to the stain and blot using a clean, white cloth and you'll get your rug clean in a matter of a few tries.
These three tips can be of great help for those who are unfamiliar with cleaning food and drink spills on their rugs. Remember this useful advice to properly clean up any food or drink spill on your beautiful rug.
