Spilled bong water on the carpet, Dont have a carpet cleane. How long do I have before it sits? What do I not?

Question

Will it come out?

Answer 1

Bong Water? Thats illegal i believe. but if its just water it shouldnt leave a stain. If it does you can go to your local store. and buy "Ressolve High Traffic Carpet Foam" and that will remove the stain. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hi,

I'm not sure what your rug fiber is made of, wool etc. But there is a rug guide that will help with many different types of stains on your carpet.

Spot Cleaning

No rug is stain proof. Regardless of whether your rug is made of wool or prolypropylene, it is important to respond quickly to spills. However, if you own a wool rug you need to make sure the cleaning product you use is wool safe.

Wools of New Zealand, a marketing organization that promotes the use of New Zealand wool, provides the following expert advice on cleaning wool rugs. These steps also work well on rugs of other fibers.

Blot up liquids with white paper towels or absorbent cloth; scoop up solids with the end of a knife or spoon.

Treat the spot according to the cleaning instruction chart below.

Apply spot removal agent to clean towel or cloth, not directly to the spot. Use small quantities at a time. Always work inwards from the edge to prevent spreading. Do not rub, as this may cause the spot to spread or distort the pile. Do not over-wet the carpet pile.

Afterwards, blot as dry as possible with clean towel

Warnings

Some chemicals are hazardous (corrosive, flammable, toxic, etc.) and should be used with great care, strictly in accordance with their use and safety instructions.

DO NOT apply stain repellent treatments that contain any silicone because they tend to accelerate rug soiling.

Always pre-test a cleaning agent in an inconspicuous place, such as under a piece of furniture or in the corner of the room, to insure that it does not remove color.
