A Guide To After Party Carpet Cleaning In Christchurch

Calling all Christchurch residents, have you found yourself in a post-party sticky situation? Has your carpet become a canvas of accidental spills and stains? From a coffee mishap to a devastating wine spill in the middle of the carpet; from stains on the upholstery, you’d rather not know about, to the lingering smell of cigarette smoke – there’s nothing like the debris of a party. We've all been there. Whether you're seeking the best carpet cleaning Christchurch has to offer or looking for a DIY solution, read on.


DIY carpet stain removal techniques

Before diving deep into professional services, it's always handy to know some DIY tips and tricks. Let's tackle some common household stains:



  1. Water-soluble stains: for stains like alcoholic drinks (other than wine), milk, or excrement, create a solution using 1/4 teaspoon of a non-bleach detergent mixed in a litre of water. Blot the spot, working from the outside in, to avoid spreading the stain.
  2. Tough Water-Soluble Stains: coffee spills or wine stains giving you a hard time? Try a mixture of mix 1/2 tsp dish liquid and 1/2 tsp white vinegar with 2 cups warm water. Do not be tempted to use bleach, it can cause irreversible damage to wool carpets and rugs and even degrade the fibres of synthetic materials.
  3. Fat and oil: carefully use an iron on a warm setting over a paper towel placed on the stain. The heat lifts the wax or oil off your carpet, saving you from an unsightly mark.
  4. Gum and wax: Got gum stuck to your beautiful rug? Freeze it using ice and then gently shatter it with a spoon. The residue should come off easily.
  5. Urine and dirt: if thoughtless guests or pets have made a mess and traipsed mud on your carpets, blot the area using white towels and apply a solution of white vinegar and water. Always let mud dry first before vacuuming.

Commercial carpets are the unsung heroes of a huge range of spaces: essential for creating a positive impression and ensuring a healthy working environment. From offices and shops, hospitality suites to schools and healthcare centres, the diversity of placement means there are a wide range of ways in which carpets become stained and grubby, attracting dirt and debris (and often of unknown origin).
