How Do You Clean & Remove Sticky Fudge Stains & Candy Canes from Carpet in Fountain Valley, CA?

There are many traditions and celebrations that occur during the holiday season. Passing around treats and sweet goodies are common as we express to friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and family we are thinking of them during this cheerful time. Today, we at My Steam Green Carpet Cleaning Orange County would like to share steps for removing a couple of popular holiday treats from carpets.

How Do You Get Candy Canes Out of Carpet?

1) It can take a bit, but you need to start by moistening the candy cane with cold water. Doing so will dissolve the sugar that is bonding it to the carpet. Pull the large pieces of candy out of the carpet once it is dissolved enough to loosen. A spoon can be used to scrape the candy off of the fibers if necessary.
2) Apply a stain remover to any stains that remain on the carpet next. Pet enzyme cleaners will work particularly well on these stains, but any carpet stain remover could work.
3) To absorb the stain remover along with the stain, blot with a clean cloth. In order to avoid reapplying the stain, switch to a clean portion of the cloth frequently.
4) If the stain persists, blot the area with a cloth moistened with white vinegar.
5) Blot the area with a clean cloth moistened with plain water to rinse once the stain is removed.
6) To remove any excess moisture, blot with a dry cloth.
7) Let the area to dry completely.
