How To Remove Beer Stains and Spills From Carpet: Victoria Carpet Care

  Step 1
·               For large beer stains, work from the outside of stain to the center to prevent spreading.
·               Blot up beer spills with a white towel or paper towel.
·               Mix a solution of 1/4 teaspoon of clear hand dishwashing detergent with 1 cup of water. Stir gently.
·               Apply detergent solution directly to a white cloth. Dampen the carpet fibers in the stained area with the cloth. Avoid saturating the carpet.
·               Wipe gently. Turn cloth frequently. Never rub, scrub or use a brush. This may damage carpet fibers.
·               If necessary, use your fingertips to work the solution to the base of the stain.
·               Wet the stained carpet fibers with clear, lukewarm water to rinse.
·               Cover the spot with an absorbent white towel or paper towel and apply pressure to blot.
·               Repeat the rinsing and blotting procedures until you are sure all traces of the detergent have been removed.
·               If the beer stain is gone, place an absorbent white towel or paper towel over the area cleaned, and weigh towels down with a heavy, colorfast object, such as a weighted plastic wastebasket.
·               Change towels or paper towels until carpet dries.
·               If beer stain remains, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2
·               Do NOT use on coffee, tea or urine stains.
·               Mix 2 tablespoons of non-bleaching, non-sudsing household ammonia with 1 cup of lukewarm water.
·               Apply ammonia solution, rinse and blot as outlined in Step 1.
·               Do not dry with paper towels. Proceed to Step 3 to neutralize the ammonia solution.
Step 3
·               Mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 2 cups of water.
·               Apply vinegar solution, rinse and blot as outlined in Step 1.
