If you have carpet in your home you know that it can be difficult to care for. It is attacked from every angle from different things trying to destroy it. One of those things is stains and nothing is worse than those mystery stains. Read this article to learn about where those mystery stains come from. One of the most common sources of a mystery stain is residue from spot cleaners. What happens is you clean a spot with a spot cleaner which leaves a residue on the carpet. A week or two later you end up with another, often larger spot. To prevent this problem you should use spot cleaner only when necessary. Try water before going to the spotter. When you do have to use spotter try to rinse it thoroughly with water afterwards. Another source of mystery spots is residue from a sticky substance like soda or juice. Often you will spill a clear soda and not notice a stain until weeks later when it has attracted soil to itself. To correct this problem be sure to thoroughly clean the spot and rinse it with water to remove as much residue as possible. Follow any spotter you use with water to prevent a residue problem. These are the two most common sources of mystery spots in a home. While there are a few others these probably account for two thirds of all spots. I hope this article has been of use to you in your effort to maintain your home. Good luck to you and your home.
