How to Remove
Hot Chocolate
Spills on Your
Carpets
DIY Carpet
Cleaning Tips
Introduction:
For many adults and
children, hot
chocolate is the
perfect beverage
during the winter
months. It is a
very comforting and
refreshing beverage
to have in the cold
weather and it
seems to even taste
better when
drinking it in
front of a
fireplace with
family. Although it
is good to drink,
it is not so good
if it accidentally
gets spilled on
your carpets.
Carpets and area
rugs are great home
accessories that
can boost your
home's appeal and
beauty. But if you
accidentally spill
hot chocolate on a
carpet, it can be a
really problematic
situation. Hot
chocolate can
create a tough and
stubborn stain that
is not easy to
remove.
Here are
some tips on how to
remove hot
chocolate spills on
your carpets:
·
Use clean paper
towels to blot the
spilled hot
chocolate. Wiping
or rubbing the
spill is not a good
idea as it will
only make the
situation worse.
You should simply
blot the spill
using the paper
towels until you
have extracted as
much of it as
possible.
·
After you have
removed the spilled
hot chocolate, the
next step is to
find the right
cleaning solution
for the ugly stain
that is left
behind. Use a
combination of one
part clear ammonia
and four parts warm
water to create
homemade cleaning
solution.
·
Pour some of the
cleaning solution
on the affected
area and then let
it set there for a
few minutes. Use a
clean white cloth
to repeatedly blot
the area to remove
the stain. Repeat
the process until
all of the hot
chocolate stain is
gone.
·
After removing the
stain, use a cup of
clean water to
rinse the area. Use
a clean towel to
dry the entire
area.
·
After the area is
completely dry,
vacuum the carpet
to restore its
pile.
Cleaning hot
chocolate stains
can be difficult,
but it can be made
easier if you
follow these carpet
cleaning tips.
Enjoy your hot
chocolate!
