Carpet Stains
Must Be Removed As Soon As They Appear
When I lived in the dorms, I never thought about carpet
stains until it was too late. You see, I had been told that
they were pretty lax about cleanliness standards in the
dorms. Basically, if you sprayed some carpet stain remover
before you left, vacuumed the room, and took the posters off
the wall, you were all right. It turns out that I was
unfortunate enough to live in a new dorm room. On the one
hand, it was nice to have a nice clean room. On the other
hand, that cleanliness did not last for long.
By the time I moved out, there were carpet stains
everywhere. I had not used any carpet stain removal, and
when I tried to, it wouldn't work. I tried every trick for
removing carpet stains that I could find. I tried soda
water, I tried lemon juice, and I even tried a little bit of
bleach. Nothing worked. The bleach actually ruined the
carpet even more. I was basically out of luck.
It was a painful lesson, but it was definitely a lesson all
the same. Carpet stains, you see, must be removed as soon as
they appear. Otherwise, they will stay on the carpet
forever. It can be a difficult trick to keep up with the
carpet stains that appear, but it is necessary.
One of the tricks that I have learned since then was to keep
some carpet stain remover on hand at all time. That way, at
the first hint of carpet stains I can spray it on. I don't
know what it is made of, but it works wonderfully. As long
as I spray it within an hour, it lifts the carpet stains
right off. It foams and fizzles a little bit, and it smells
a little bit odd, but works like nothing I've ever seen
before.
The way I finally got out of my dorm room fiasco was to hire
a carpet cleaning business. I figured that hiring some
carpet cleaners was my last shot at getting things right. It
turns out that they could not get the carpets completely
cleaned, but they got them much better than I thought they
would. The carpet stains that were left were very faint, and
I ended up being charged only a little bit of money for
minor repairs to the dorm room. If I had only spackled over
the holes in the wall, I wouldn't have been charged a thing!
