Water Causes Spots & Stains on Carpet
The water is clear and that is why people assume that it will not leave a stain. The water is not perfectly clear and has sediment in it even if it is from a bottle of water. As the water dries out the line at the edge of the spill will still be there. That is because the sediment settles and will leave an outline of the spill. That is why it is important to have the water stain cleaned properly.
How to Clean a Carpet Water Stain
The water that you are cleaning might be a large area or even a small area. You also need to determine what kind of water your damage and stain is from. If you are dealing with water that has potential bacteria in it like water from floods outdoors or a overflowing sewer system the treatment will be different. If you have a clean water source the clean will be less intense. Clean water can be pressed with a clean cloth to pull out all the excess water. Then followed up with a mild cleaner to remove the left over sediment. If you have a larger area that is effected and you are dealing with bacteria filled water it is best to have a professional out. They can use their equipment to remove the water, dry out the carpet and clean any dirt, debris and sediment that is left behind.
