Ok, I have a very dirty carpet with dried on blood stains from one of my pets (He is ok, he had an infection) that's been sitting there for a few weeks. The carpet has not been cleaned for three years, and is very dirty. The stain was pretreated immediately after the incident, but never got out. I am going to clean the carpet now, and here is my plan. I am going to get - 1 Rental Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaner- 1 Bissell Spotbot- 1 box of Borax- 1 box of OxycleanWhat should I use as the carpet cleaning solution? Have any pretreat recommendations? Have any suggestions?
no rent a rug doctor machine I think homedepot or pathmark use the rug doctor chemicals before you do this pretreat the stains
3 years is so long...i suggest you better contact some good carpet cleaners to take care of the business. there are lots of good carpet cleaners out there!
Oxyclean okorder to locate a pro near you. What you have in mind is badsically cleaning with a toy. Carpeting is an expensive investment, do it right.
When you rent the carpet cleaner, there will be cleaning solutions there that you can buy. Use the Oxyclean to pretreat, but do not put it or the Borax in the carpet cleaner machine. They will ruin the machine and then you will have to pay for it or for repairs. Use only the cleaning solutions that are recommended. Ask the person who is renting the machine to you. They know what cleaner to use for what stains. If you have not cleaned your carpet for over 3 years, you may have to do some heavy traffic areas 2 or 3 times to get all the dirt out. But it's worth it, as you will see. I would pretreat the blood stains with the Oxyclean, as directed on the box/canister. Good Luck!
