As the old saying goes, there’s no use in crying over spilled milk. However, there does come a time when spilt milk (and other liquids), although do not need tears do need urgent attention if spilt because if they’re left they can cause stains.

Each stain possibility needs to be tackled with its own specialist stain remover, and to help you find the best remover for your stains, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most common stains which are likely to be found within your home.

Red Wine:

After a long week at work, nothing can beat relax on the couch with your family and a glass (or 2) of red wine, a glass of red wine is that good that UB40 even dedicated a song to it. Unfortunately though, red wine is one of a few drinks which is likely to leave a stain on the majority of carpets and upholstered surfaces if spilt.

Even the smallest drop can cause an unsightly stain, and whilst there may be old wives tails of using white wine to remove a red wine stain from your carpet, this isn’t something I would recommend. Not only is it a waste of white wine, but white wine on top of red wine is not always guaranteed to remove the stain.

Instead, consider using a dedicated cleaner which has been produced specifically to remove red wine stains from carpets and upholstery, such as the Red Wine Stain Remover from eSpares. The cleaning formula within the remover is strong enough to remove stains, but soft enough to be used on carpets and other fabrics and along with removing red wine stains, it can also lift out stains caused by fruit juices and coffee, making it ideal to use following any drink spills.

The remover is that trusted to remove red wine stains that Le Tasting Room, a wine tasting school in Loire Valley, ensure that they have a bottle of the remover ready when they’re running their wine tasting courses.

A Man’s Best Friend:

A man’s best friend is said to be his dog, and whilst your dog will always be there eagerly awaiting your arrival home from work, and shower you with affection (even at those times when you don’t want it, such as in the early hours of the morning when it clearly isn’t time to get up).

As friendly, loving and loyal as your pooch may be, there is the risk that from time-to-time they may have an accident in the house, or (as is more likely) they traipse muddy paws over the furniture / carpets.

Getting such stains out needn’t be difficult though, using the one trigger carpet and upholstery pet stain and odour remover from Wellco will make cleaning up after your dog as easy as a walk in the park, whilst leaving your carpet / upholstery fresh, strain free and smelling like new.

Everyday Stains:

Your home, especially if you have children, is going to suffer from everyday stains. These can vary from food and drink spills, crayons being trodden into carpets and cosmetics spilling and being left onto the floor.

At first they may not appear to make too much difference, but if left they can make rooms look unsightly, making you ashamed to let visitors into specific rooms. Removing these stains however shouldn’t involve hours on your hands and knees scrubbing away, nor after attempting to lift the stains should your carpets (or upholstery) be left with blemishes.

One of the best ways to guarantee that blemishes aren’t left, you’re not spending hours attempting to clean the stains and that your carpet looks like new, is to use the Wellco Carpet and Upholstery Stain Remover.

The dedicated cleaning formula enables easy cleaning of common household stains on soft furnishings, cushions and curtains, and whether the stains are fresh or dried-in, the stain remover works wonders to lift them out, once again leaving your room looking spotless.

For those tougher stains, which may have been on your carpet / upholstery for longer than desired, consider utilising the power of the Bissell Spotlifter Carpet & Upholstery Stain Remover, which lifts and removes deep down dirt and stains while eliminating strong odours.

The built on brush can also be used to agitate dirt on the top of your carpet, helping to bring a cleaner finish, whilst the foam which holds the cleaning power is quick drying and non-toxic, whilst it also promises not to leave a sticky residue.

Using such stain removers on your carpets and upholstery will help you remove even the most stubborn of stains, so whether your young children have opted to draw their version of a Picasso onto your carpets or your dog has trodden muddy footprints over your furniture, you can rest assured that with the right cleaner they can be removed with ease.
