Video Transcript

The most common spill we have on carpet is coffee. How do we take it out if we’ve had it there for a couple days, weeks, months, however long? Once its set in. Here is a quick way to do this. Get a spray bottle with water and spray down the stain, make sure the carpet is really damp. Once you do that, get some three percent hydrogen peroxide and generously cover the stain by spraying it on. Now take a white clean rag or cloth that is quite wet and place it over the stain folded in half. Place an iron on top and let it steam for about twenty to thirty seconds. What you will find is that the stain will actually come up and into the cloth. Be careful not to burn or melt your carpet. Iron hotnesses do vary. You will start seeing them colour come out. Spray more hydrogen peroxide onto the stain, flip your cloth onto the clean side and repeat. Make sure that your cloth stays wet and fairly clean. OK so we’ve done this for about four to five minutes in total. What your gonna find is that there is a residual left and you can still see a bit of shading. What we’ll do is rinse it out and the residual of the hydrogen peroxide will fade it out by tomorrow.

We hope this helps you understand How to Remove Coffee Stains From Carpets!
