Stain removal can be a challenging process that requires the right techniques and solvents. Luckily, house cleaning companies are experts at stain removal and come fully prepared to remove stains. Keep reading to learn some helpful tips for cleaning a few common stains.

1. Blood Stains

Blood stains are some of the toughest stains to remove. In our experience, hydrogen peroxide is effective at removing blood stains. However, you should always test a small patch of fabric before you use it on clothing, carpeting, and upholstery.

If you don’t have any hydrogen peroxide on hand, you can try liquid dishwashing detergent and a cold water mix. You should always use cold water to treat a blood stain. It may take a couple of tries to get the stain out, but remember that persistence is key.

2. Pet Stains

Pet stains are among the most common stains and, unfortunately, can be hard to remove. House cleaning companies recommend that you remove any solid materials first, then you can blot up any excess liquid material until it's almost dry.

Mix liquid dish detergent with warm water and thoroughly clean the spot. Continue to clean the spot until it's not visible. Our experts have found that using a spray bottle of one-fourth white vinegar and warm water can neutralize the smell.

3. Wine Stains

A spilled glass of red wine on your countertop or carpet can cause a terrible stain. Quick action, however, can help to reduce the risk of a permanent stain. Our experts have found that a quarter cup of white vinegar, two tablespoons of baking soda, and cold water in a spray bottle can help with this problem. Spray the stain liberally and allow the mixture to sit for a half-hour. Gently blot the area continue to do so until the area is as dry as possible. Rinse with cool water and blot again.
