A Guide to Stain Removal: What to Do (and Avoid) at Home

Stains are an inevitable part of everyday life — whether it’s spilled wine, muddy footprints, or pet accidents. But before you reach for any detergent or cleaning tool, it’s important to understand the correct techniques to prevent further damage. At Abudizo Sofa Set Cleaning Company, we specialize in deep-cleaning upholstery, carpets, and mattresses across Nairobi, and we’ve seen firsthand how the wrong approach can turn a simple stain into a permanent mark.

Common Household Stains and What to Do

  • Red Wine: Blot the area immediately with a clean cloth. Apply cold water or club soda and continue blotting. Avoid rubbing the stain as it can spread deeper.
  • Coffee or Tea: Use a mix of mild detergent and cold water. Dab with a sponge or cloth until the stain lifts. Rinse gently with clean water.
  • Pet Stains: Use an enzyme-based cleaner to neutralize odors and break down proteins. Always test the product on a small area first.
  • Grease or Oil: Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch to absorb excess oil before using a mild degreaser or dishwashing liquid mixed with water.

What to Avoid When Removing Stains

  • Do not scrub aggressively: This can damage fabric fibers and set the stain deeper.
  • Avoid using hot water immediately: Heat can set protein-based stains like blood and milk permanently.
  • Don’t use colored towels: Dyes from towels can transfer to the fabric and worsen the stain.
  • Skip random DIY chemical mixes: Combining household cleaners like bleach and ammonia is dangerous and can damage surfaces.

When to Call a Professional

If a stain remains after initial treatment or if the fabric is delicate, calling in professionals is the safest option.
