Video: Do It Yourself Carpet Care

SAN JOSE — Host, Sarah Rutan: When a spill occurs on your home’s carpet, you can often prevent a stain by using basic household materials. Today, we’re in San Jose with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Rodrigo Bejar of Heavenly Touch, to learn a simple spot cleaning method.

Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Rodrigo Bejar: So, I’m going to show you an effective way of spot cleaning your carpets between carpet cleans using mild soap, common soap, rather than any expensive chemical you find at the store.

So, I’m going to put a little bit on a presoaked towel that I soaked with warm water. I’m going to go over to the stain here and rather than rubbing, I’m just going to dab, kind of let the towel absorb most of the stain and not saturate our stain with any strong enzyme or anything like that we can’t rinse out later.

So, we’re dabbing, flip the towel around a little bit, dab a little more and you see slowly the stain just disappearing. Use the clean part of the towel here, and that should be about it.
