Nothing is worse than coming home to find that kids have spilled their drink before school or the dog has spread mud in from outdoors. These are all stains and spots on your carpet that you are going to be stuck trying to clean off. No matter what type of mess you are dealing with you need to know the best method to remove the stain or spot. When it comes to cleaning them the wrong method can cause the problem to become even larger! Once you know the best way to treat and clean the area you can move forward. The problem that many people end up with is that the stain comes back. It is like magic! It is clean and seems to have disappeared then a day later there it is again! This can be frustrating and might send you wondering why this would happen. Although the best thing you can do is to call a professional carpet cleaner to treat your carpet stains. This is not always the best option because many spills need to be treated as soon as possible. If you are wondering what could be causing the stains to come back there are some common reasons.
 

Carpet Care 2000 Explains Why Some Stains Show Back Up After Cleaning Them

Soap & Spot Cleaner Residues Attract Dirt: One of the most common reasons that a spot or stain ends up showing back up is because of residue. The problem is that you are most likely going to get a hold of some type of cleaner that you can use to remove the stain. If you choose to grab a cleaner at the store you might be doing more harm than good. The spot may all of a sudden seem that it has been treated and gone but if you wait a day or two it will show back up. The reason is the residue that is often left over from the cleaning solution that you have used. The residue makes the carpet fibers sticky and coated with a film that will attract dirt and debris. The dirt will easily stick to the residue making it seem as if the original shape and size of stain has shown back up. You need to make sure that you do not leave any residue behind after you have cleaned the stain.
Carpets Have Layers of Backing & Padding Too: Another common mistake that people make is cleaning the top surface of the spill. This will make the carpet look clean for a moment but slowly the stain will start to soak back into the top of the carpet. There are several layers of carpet that are able to hold the moisture. The fibers, backing and padding are some of the layers that are able to soak up. That is why using a dabbing pressure on the spill is a great idea until you are sure that the moisture has been lifted. You want to use a good and thorough method to clean any spills on your carpet.
