Most people care about what their home looks like. That is why we all take time to clean and do chores. One part of the home that can make a big impact is the carpets. When they are a mess the house will not look clean. That is why having an arsenal of cleaning tips to treat all kinds of stains is important. The carpets are part of the house that gets a lot of traffic and stains. The spills that occur can be anything from drinks spilling, dirty shoes, gum and so much more. The biggest problem is that there are some stains and spots that you may not realize are happening such as rust. Rust comes from metal that has had some moisture on it. The moisture reacts to the metal and that is what causes the orange rust to come off. It can then meet with your carpets and that will in turn be a stain that you need to clean. You may have more metal touching your carpets than you think. There are plant stands that are often made of metal, plant pots and also dressers and other furniture and decor that could have metal feet.

Tough Carpet Cleaning Outlines Steps Needed to Remove Rust Stains from Carpet

Remove Metal Item from Carpet: The first step that you need to take is to move the item that has damaged the carpet. The metal item that has gotten wet will continue to deposit rust if you do not remove the item. You also need to do some work on the item so that it is coated or removed and replaced.
Scrape Rust Off Carpet: The next step is to remove the rust that you can with a hard object. You can use a spoon or a card to pull the rust off the carpet. You want to work slow and be sure that you don’t ruin the carpet fibers. This can be done with gentle pressure that you use to detach the rust from the carpet. As you go you want to be sure that you use the vacuum to remove the bits that have come off. This will ensure that the rust does not spread out any further.
Carpet Stain Rust Remover: The carpet needs to then be cleaned so that the rust color is also taken off. There are two main methods of cleaning the rust from the carpet. The first is to get a clean sponge and use your dish soap to treat the area. Use the soap and sponge it on the area and allow it to sit on the spot for about five minutes. The next step is to use warm water and a cloth to dab at the spot. This will pull the stain off the carpet. The best thing you can do is repeat the process if necessary. The second option that you have to treat the stain is to use lemon juice and salt. Make a paste and apply it to the spot for a few minutes. You want to follow up with warm water that you use to soak the area. Then dab at the space to remove the rust that was broken down by the lemon juice and salt.
