How To Clean Chlorophyll Off Carpet

When some people hear of chlorophyll stain, they think of a disaster. But in fact, this type of stain is not hard to clean at all. You just need the right cleaning technique and products, so here in this article, I will show you the most efficient tips and tricks to bring your carpet back to new. But firstly, let's see what we need to perform a successful cleaning.



Make sure to get the following products: amyl acetate, enzyme detergent, household ammonia, water, vinegar, clean soft cloths, bucket and rubber gloves. The rubber gloves are a must, because you will handle chemical cleaners, which can be harmful to the human body. You can also wear a mask for additional protection, but it's optional. Don't forget to test a small area of the carpet for damage or discolouration.


Once you ready with the equipment and the tests, start with the cleaning process. First of all, absorb most of the spill with a clean cloth. Do not press hard or scrub, but do the job gently. You will only push the stain deeper, if you use excess force. Afterwards, you have to blot with the amyl acetate applied on a cloth. Go over the area thoroughly and don't spread the stain. In the process of cleaning, you will probably see the chlorophyll transferring to the cloth, so try to use fresh area of the cloth each time. Repeat the cleaning until you get the whole stain off the carpet. Lastly, you should rinse thoroughly with clean water and remove all the residue.


Sometimes the stains are tough and persistent, in such cases make sure to apply more of the enzyme detergent and blot gently as you did before. You can also use another effective cleaning solution, which consists 1/2 cup of water and one tablespoon ammonia. Once you finish with the cleaning process, rinse again with clean water and use a clean cloth to remove most of the excess water. Let your carpet dry for a while.


It is important to be very careful, while cleaning with amyl acetate. If you have never tried this product before and you don't know how to operate with it, look for additional information on the web. Anyway, if the steps above somehow don't work on your carpet and the stain is still there after the treatment, you will need professional help. The carpet cleaning pros suggest us to consult with an expert or just hire a team of cleaners to do the job. It is still better option than damaging your carpet.
