As fun as Halloween is, there are some remnants that can be left behind once the big night is over. There are many different types of stains Halloween can bring with it and it’s important that you know how to take care of them, so you have a better chance of getting rid of the stain successfully. Carpet Care 2000 is here to walk you through how to get rid of different types of Halloween stains.
How Do You Get Face Paint Makeup Stains Out of Carpet?
There are two different kinds of face paint that are available for your spookiest Halloween costumes, oil-based and water based. If you find water-based paint on your carpet or furniture, it is going to be much easier to remove than any oil-based face paint. If you find that you have oil-based face paint around your home, you can remove it by dabbing it with white spirits and it should come out. Water-based face paint is much easier to remove and can be cleaned up using cold water and a small amount of dish soap.
How Do You Remove Fake Blood Stains from Carpet
Some people will argue that fake blood is even more difficult to remove than real blood as it is full of dyes that can be unforgiving. If you find that it is all over the clothes you’re wearing, you can soak them in a vinegar and water solution overnight before laundering them. If you find it on your carpet, you will want to blot as much of it up as possible and then continue cleaning with soda water. You should repeat this as many times as needed until it is completely removed.
Do Carpet Pumpkin Stains Come Out?
Carving pumpkins has been a tradition in many houses for decades. This activity can bring out your creative side as you try and find the perfect spooky jack-o-lantern face. When it gets on the carpet though, it can be messy. To remove pumpkin from your carpet, you will first want to remove as much as possible with a blunt butter knife. Then you will use warm water mixed with 1 tablespoon of dish soap to help you get rid of the rest of it. Make sure you blot rather than scrub.
How Do You Get Dried Candle Wax Stains Out of Carpet?
Candles create the perfect ambiance to any Halloween party. They produce just enough light that you can see, but little enough that there can be significant scares mixed in. What’s really scary is when those candles drip hot wax onto your carpet. To clean it up, you will place an absorbent paper towel on top of the wax and use an iron on low heat to loosen the wax and transfer it to your towel.
