Lotion can be a really useful companion to help prevent your skin from becoming dry as well as having proper skin hygiene. Unfortunately, it can become a source of a carpet problem though as lotion spills on the carpet is one of the more common issues that homeowners encounter. Spilled lotion can be quite problematic as it can leave your carpet with a nasty stain as well as make it sticky and leave an unwanted odor.

Cleaning lotion stains on the carpet is never easy but it certainly is possible. Don’t freak out just yet and simply follow the instructions below to help you get your carpet looking back to normal in no time.

• Make sure to remove any excess lotion that is spilled on your carpet. You can do this by using a spoon to scoop it up. Then, get a clean sponge and dab the spilled area with it. This will help in removing as much of the lotion as you can so that only the stain will be remaining on your carpet.
• Next, apply some baking soda or cornstarch on the stained area of the carpet and let it set for about fifteen minutes. The baking soda or cornstarch will help absorb the lotion stain and make it lighter and a lot easier to remove completely. After fifteen minutes, use a heavy duty vacuum cleaner to suck it up.
• Then, get a clean cloth and apply some dry-cleaning solvent on it. Then, use the cloth to blot the lotion stain repeatedly. Make sure to make your way from the outside of the stain moving inwards in order for you to get optimal results. When the dry-cleaning solvent is completely absorbed and the stain is still there, apply some more solvent on it and continue blotting until the stain is completely gone.
• Now that the stain is gone, all you need to do is to rinse the carpet with water to make sure that there is no dry-cleaning solvent residue left. Dry the area using some clean rags and you’re done.

Lotion stains on the carpet can be a pretty tough adversary but hopefully the guide above will help make this a lot easier for you. Don’t let any lotion stain ruin your carpet, if ever you are faced with this very problem just follow the steps above and you will surely get rid of the problem completely.
