Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. As you are planning your menu for the big feast where a lot of people will be attending, keep in mind all of the foods and beverages that can cause significant damage to your carpet and the life of your carpet.
Here are the toughest food and beverage stains to clean from your carpet.
- Cranberries
Cranberries and cranberry sauce are a favorite for the day’s festivities. They enhance the turkey and make great tasty sandwiches later for the day. This berry can leave a tough stain on your carpet if not cleaned correctly and immediately.
- Wine
Red wine is perfect for the family and friend’s toast. Unfortunately, accidents can happen, and red wine spilling on a light-colored carpet will end up with some significant damage.
- Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is a top item on the requested list of desserts for this special day. If spilled on the floor, the sticky, sugary ingredients can cause a host of problems that include damaging the carpet and calling in ants and insects.
- Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows
Yummy. You either love or hate sweet potatoes. The marshmallows on top make this dish easier to love. If this dessert gets spilled on the carpet, the orange color can stain and damage the carpet, and the sugary ingredients can have ants and other insects piling on.
- Hot Chocolate and Irish Coffee
Chocolate and coffee are two wonderful beverages that guests love. If they end up on a carpet, it can do some major damage.
- Shrimp Cocktail Sauce
Seafood tops the list of must-haves for a holiday gathering. This spicy red cocktail sauce is delicious, but it is very easy to drop on the floor. This red color will destroy flooring.
- Beets
A beet stain can be one of the toughest stains to beat! No pun intended. Beets are a favorite side, but they roll and drip easily off a plate onto the floor.
Other items to keep in mind that can damage your carpeting are
- children running through the house with handfuls of food and cups full of beverages,
- animals drooling, and
- family and friends with dirt on their shoes walking it throughout your home
