Who doesn’t love Pinterest?! I go there first for recipes, knitting patterns and always for any kind of stain removal! So needless to say, that is where I found most of these tips over the years and have put most of them to the test with success! At 24Restore we strive in being masters at being able to clean anything. With a full contents department trained to clean the most fire and smoke damaged contents of all kinds, I felt it appropriate to educate homeowners on tips they can do at home to save the ‘small stuff’! So let’s get to it!
Pet accidents, Children Upsets, Coffee & Soda
Wipe up as much of the excess as possible, then shampoo lightly with a home detergent/ammonia solution. Blot lightly with household vinegar.
Hydrogen Peroxide is your best friend in this situation! I did not learn this one from Pinterest, but from a very smart team member at 24Restore! It is like putting invisible ink on blood… literally disappears magically! With any stain, and especially blood, getting to it asap is key! In some cases, bloodstains may become permanent if treated after drying. 24Restore has professional tricks that can remove bloodstains that have become permanent.
Place paper towels over the wax stain, then apply the tip of a warm iron to the paper towels. Change towels as needed. Be careful not to scorch the carpet.
Wipe up the excess, then shampoo lightly with a home detergent/ammonia solution.
Chewing Gum
Freeze stuck-on gum with ice cubes, then break or cut off the hardened gum. Blot any remaining gum with a dry cleaning solvent. Allow solvent to set for a few minutes and then scrape off.
Remove excess with a spoon and then blot with a dry-cleaning solvent. If stains remain, apply a home detergent, then an ammonia solution; rinse, then blot dry. Oil base can be a little trickier, call 24Restore if you need assistance.
Remove excess with a spoon, blot with a home detergent and then apply an ammonia solution. If stains remain, apply a dry cleaning solvent; rinse, then blot dry.
Treat with a dry cleaning solvent. Allow the area to dry for a day, then shampoo with a home detergent. Speaking of shoe polish, I had a big nasty dirt stain on my white leather Michael Kors backpack, on Pinterest (of course) I found that with makeup wipes and white shoe polish you could restore white leather to new! Worked like magic!
Iodine/Medication
Blot area with paper towels, but do not treat stain any further – doing so may cause the stain to spread. If needed call 24Restore for assistance.
Nail Polish
On synthetic carpeting, blot up excess polish, then call Woodard for further assistance; NEVER use nail polish remover to remove stains on synthetic carpeting. When treating cotton or wool carpeting, apply nail polish remover to a sponge, then use it to blot the stain away. If this technique does not work, 24Restore has a professional heat transfer method that has yet to fail. It has saved my own carpets a time or two …or five! (My daughter and I love us some nail polish!)
Anything with Dye (Kool-Aid, Mustard, Red Wine, etc.)
Lightly shampoo the stain with a home detergent.
Ink
Apply hair spray to a white cloth, then use it to lightly blot the stain. Finish by shampooing with a home detergent.
Home Detergent/Biz – Mix solution of 1-quart warm water, 1 tsp. Biz brand detergent booster, 1 tsp. liquid dish detergent. Using mainly suds and a soft household scrub brush, shampoo the area gently. Do not rub too aggressively or you may cause texture change. Dab lightly.
Home Detergent/Ammonia – Mix solution of 1-quart warm water, 1.6 oz. Ammonia, and 1 Tsp. liquid dish detergent. Use the same technique as with Home Detergent/Biz solution.
“24Restore came within an hour of our water damage to assess the problem and restore and reconstruct our kitchen and my office. Everyone from 24Restore was professional, kind and did an outstanding job of damage assessment and restoration.”
Your service was excellent. The young man was thorough and very dedicated to completing the job. He’s a good one. I would recommend your services to anyone who need them.
Your team has been absolutely amazing, professional, sympathetic and wonderful. They took my mess and made it manageable as I shed a few tears, which they also consoled with empathy. At a time when we have floods and tornados city wide you responded within hours. Thank, I am impressed and I have passed the word on to many.
Very good experience……everyone I dealt with through 24 Restore was very professional and very kind.
This note is a note of thanks and appreciation of the services provided…..we could even say our home looks better than before we incurred our water damage…Job well done!
I don’t often take the time to write a follow up complimentary letter. However I was very impressed with 24 Restore and felt they went above and beyond to surpass expectations with WOW service. Thank you for the great service and great job that your team did to get my house back in shape.
I have recommended them to many of my friends. They are the only service that I have ever used that always gets my stains out and that clean my carpets beautifully. I can’t say enough good thins about them
Thank you for all the work put in to get out home……It would have been an impossible task for us to have accomplished in such a short time. We appreciate all that you have done for us! We are so grateful!
Yes. I appreciated the ability to funnel all activities thru a one-stop shop proved to be very valuable in a disaster project such as ours demo, construction and finish as well as work directly with insurance company. The team has been professional and those on site have been respectful of our home and schedule.
Alex did a great job scheduling, coordinating, and keeping me informed. He made sure that everything was done in a timely manner. I always felt that my job was a priority. All the workmen did a great job and were very polite. I am pleased with the results. I would highly recommend your company!
From the time of initial contact to the time of job completion was 24 hrs. Very pleased with job outcome. Will definitely use you again. If ever in need.
Response time was awesome. We we’re bewildered by what was happening and what needed to be done. 24hr came in and took care of what needed to be done.
I thought 24 was very professional and timely work.
24Restore was very responsive and did a thorough job plus they cleaned up after themselves.
The job was exceptionally well done. You were recommended to me by Dennis Carlson, a freind and I would definatley refer 24restore to friends and family.
Very Professional!
Everyone was on top of everything and got back to me in a reasonable time. Clean up was done absolutely perfect at the end of each job.
The guys who worked here were great, polite, personable and hard workers. They did a great job! So thankful this is over!
Working with the employees at 24restore has been an easy process. They aimed to please.
Kudos to Shelli Abraham especially, she worked with the mortgage company and insurance company so I didn’t have to, I’m a caregiver for my husband with Dementia, she took the pressure off having to deal with them, thanks Shelli.
