Spills happen—whether it’s a knocked-over coffee, a pet accident, or a mystery stain that suddenly appears on your couch. But stains don’t have to be a permanent problem. With the right approach and products, you can restore your fabrics, carpets, and upholstery to their spotless best.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through a simple, effective stain removal process using non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and residue-free solutions that are safe for kids, pets, and your home.
Step 1: Start with a High-Performance Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner
The best way to tackle fresh stains is by using a powerful yet gentle cleaner that lifts dirt and spills without harsh chemicals. Our Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner removes 95% of spots and spills on its own, making it the perfect first step in your cleaning routine.
Why it works:
✔ Soap-free formula prevents residue buildup
✔ Breaks down stains without leaving behind sticky film
✔ Safe for carpets, couches, drapery, and soft surfaces
How to Use It:
- Spray directly onto the stained area.
- Let it sit for a minute or two.
- Blot (don’t rub!) with a clean microfiber cloth like our Green Mitt.
Step 2: Treat Stubborn Stains with a Dedicated Spot Remover
If a stain lingers after the first cleaning, it’s time to bring in reinforcements—our Spot & Stain Remover is designed for tough, set-in stains that need extra lifting power.
Common stubborn stains:
✅ Wine, coffee, and tea
✅ Ink, grease, and makeup
✅ Pet accidents and food spills
How to Use It:
- Apply directly to the stain.
- Let it work for a few minutes.
- Gently blot with a clean microfiber cloth.
Step 3: Know When a Stain is Permanent
Not all stains can be removed—some may have permanently altered the fabric. Here’s why:
❌ The stain may have bleached or damaged the material at a chemical level.
❌ Some fibers are more absorbent, making it difficult to lift deep stains.
❌ If a stain has been set with heat or time, it may have bonded to the fabric.
If you’ve tried everything and the stain won’t budge, avoid over-scrubbing—it could weaken the fabric. Instead, consider professional cleaning or fabric repair options.
Step 4: Clean the Entire Area to Prevent Watermarks
One of the biggest mistakes people make when spot-cleaning is only treating the stain itself.
Pro Tip: If you're cleaning a spot on a couch cushion or carpet, clean the entire cushion or section to avoid water rings and discoloration.
How to Do It Right:
- Lightly dampen the entire area surrounding the stain.
- Use even, consistent strokes with a microfiber mitt or cloth.
- Avoid over-wetting, as too much moisture can cause mildew or shrinkage.
