COIT's Guide on How to Remove Soda Stains from Carpet
Whether you’re having a party or just enjoying a regular day, if there’s soda around, there’s a chance it may end up on your carpeting. So what do you do when you need to remove soda from carpet?
How to Remove Soda Stains from Carpet – Method # 1
Here’s one way to approach the question of how to remove soda from carpet:
- As soon as you discover the soda stain, be sure to get rid of much liquid as possible, right away. Use a clean white cloth or paper towel to pat the stain dry. Avoid scrubbing, as this may cause the soda to soak into the carpet even more.
- If available, check the underside of the carpeting to determine the material. The manufacturer instructions are important to understand before you apply any solution.
- In a bowl, mix ¼ teaspoon of gentle non-bleach detergent with lukewarm water.
- In another bowl, mix a generous amount of white vinegar with water (try to follow a roughly 1 to 2 ratio).
- Using a clean cloth, dip it into the detergent mixture.
- Pat the soda stain with the cloth, gently press into the affected area and wait 15 minutes.
- Using a dry cloth, pat the soda stain until it feels dry.
- Using another separate clean cloth, dip it into the vinegar solution.
- Cover the soda stain with this cloth, pressing into the stain. Place a heavy object over the cloth and leave for 15 minutes.
- Blot the stain with a clean cloth to dry, working from the outside in. If the stain is still visible, repeat the above mentioned steps until it disappears.
