How to Get Mud Stains Out of Carpet?

I live in Bangalore where rains are a common sight every other day. Rains result in muds and the mud gets transferred to our shoes. This inevitable mud gets transferred from our shoes to our carpets. And I have a kid of 6 years and 2 furry babies. So, you may understand just how much I have to deal with mud and mud stains. When I first moved to Bangalore, I had been facing this issue a lot. So I tried some ways on how to get mud stains out of carpet and luckily some of those ways worked out for me. I am going to share all of my ways on how to remove mud stains from carpet with you for your help.

How to remove mud stain from carpet?

1. Allowing the mud to dry is the first stage. This may sound contradictory, but removing mud when it's dry is much easier, and you don't want to press the mud deeper into your carpet's fibres. If the mud is particularly wet, lightly wipe it with a towel to prevent moisture from soaking into the carpet pad. 

2. Once the mud has dried, vacuum the damaged areas slowly to remove the dirt. Vacuuming slowly collects more dirt than vacuuming quickly. Vacuum for two or three times as long as you would ordinarily. 

3. It's time to move on to a detergent solution after you've eliminated as much dirt as possible with the vacuum. To one cup of lukewarm water, add one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent. As needed, double the amount.

4. Blot the solution onto the carpet with a white cloth. You'll be able to see the stain lifting if you use a white cloth.

5. Continue blotting until the stain is gone, changing towels as needed.

6. To dry the area, gently blot it with a clean cloth or paper towels.

7. Consider having the carpet professionally cleaned if the mud stains remain. COIT has strong vacuums that can often remove stains that home spot removal methods can't get rid of.
