Okay, dull red smears are NOT a good look on any carpet. Apart from maybe dull red carpets. Which I don’t think anyone’s had since the sixties. Oh dear, you still have one? Oops, sorry! Then this does not apply to you – embrace that sixties fabulousness!

For all the rest of us who are not so lucky, here’s how to remove tomato juice stains from carpets:

1 – Using a clean paper towel, firmly press onto the stain to absorb any remaining liquid or tomato sauce residue.

2 – Mix 2 cold cups of water with 1 tablespoon of liquid dish detergent.

3 – Soak a clean cloth or sponge in this solution and blot the affected area.

4 – Rinse the carpet with cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Ta da! Hopefully. If you’re left with any vestiges of tomato-dom, it’s time to call in the professionals at BCS at 801 561 1730.

Whether it’s a paper cut or a full-blown medical emergency, blood stains can be notoriously difficult to remove from carpets if they’re left for any amount of time. Act fast to save your carpet by following our easy, five-step process:

ONE

If the blood stain you’re trying to remove is dry, brush it with long, one-way strokes using a steel brush to loosen the stain. This will help break up the surface deposit. Don’t scrub back and forth or in circles, as it could push the stain further into the carpet.

TWO

Mix one teaspoon of hand dishwashing detergent with two cups of cold water.

THREE

Take a clean, white cloth and dip it in the detergent solution you just mixed.

FOUR

Blot directly and repeatedly on the blood stain.

FIVE

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the stain has disappeared.
