Cleaning Lipstick and Makeup From Your Carpets

Carpet Cleaning Castle Rock Co

So your teenage daughter is now wearing makeup and she's getting more makeup and lipstick on the carpets than her face. So you grab your spot cleaner, but it's not working. WHY? The reason is lipstick and makeup can be impossible to get out because of the dye's used in creating them. There are emulsifiers, oils, preservatives and waxes and high levels of fluorine to create the color. These ingredients care very hard on carpet fibers and they love to bond with the carpet. These pigments that create a dye is designed to last. That means that if the pigment is on the carpet it will prove difficult to remove. You want to make sure that you call and ask your local Castle Rock carpet cleaning company what to do before you just grab whatever spot cleaner you can find.

If you want to try to clean it in your own TLC Carpet Care has a couple tips on how you can do this without making matters worse. Remember your dealing with wax, oils and dyes, so if you do the wrong thing you can actually set in the stain permanently. First you want to use TLC Carpet Care's Home Pro Spotter. Use a dye free white towel or cloth and from the outside in gently blot the stain. Do not scrub! Spray the stain and let it dwell for 20 minutes then gently blot it gain until stain lifts. Repeat this process until spot is gone.
