Product Information

Meat tenderiser powder works by breaking down the proteins in meat, which helps to give you a more tender steak. This same process can be used to break down protein-based stains such as blood or vomit. To remove the blood stain, use a cloth or sponge, dampen the stain with water. Apply the powder, leave for 30 minutes then wipe away with a damp cloth.

If you have pets or small children and regularly have to deal with tough stains such as chocolate, grass, ketchup, permanent marker, pet mess and red wine, then a more robust cleaner will be necessary as ordinary cleaners won’t be able to cope. We test the most popular stain removers for clothes and upholstery and buy all the bottles we test.In our fabric stain remover tests we found meat tenderiser powder to be the most effective product for removing bloodstains. We also found one stain remover that did a good job of getting rid of bloodstains from clothing. When cleaning a more delicate material such as wool or leather, ensure that you use a gentle cleaning product, or one specifically made to be used on that material. Using the wrong upholstery cleaner on delicate items can result in damage, so it pays to be careful. Are there gentler cleaners available for those with allergies or pets? Each upholstery cleaner is applied to the stains above on cotton blend and wool fabric. The cleaned stains are left until touch dry and assessed for the following factors:

Apply the carpet stain remover to the stain and not your sponge or cloth, especially for old stains. Then use your cleaning tool (I found a sponge to be the most effective) to work the stain remover deep into the fibres of the carpet. While many cleaners are formulated to work safely on most types of fabric, it’s essential to read the label on a product before applying it in your home. Always perform a spot test on a small patch of inconspicuous fabric and wait to see if it causes any issues. This way you can be extra sure that a product won’t damage the texture or colour of your soft furnishings. Our verdict If you ever did the volcano experiment at school you know how this goes. It's very visually impressive. That said, don't use bicarbonate of soda to clean red wine stains. When we tried it, it appeared to react with the wine stain and we were left with a large patch of carpet with a blue tinge.

It did, however, work on the curry stains, proving slightly more effective with vinegar. The downside to using vinegar is the smell, so you'll need to clean the scent out afterwards. How we test carpet stain removers We strive to test everything we recommend at Real Homes, so with the help of our team members we've managed to test all of the upholstery cleaners featured in this guide.

If you’re regularly dealing with really tough stains and large surface areas, you should consider a dedicated cleaning machine such as a spot cleaner or a carpet cleaner. We’ve included a couple of affordable spot cleaners in this roundup, but you should also take a look at our guide to the best carpet cleaners. Do different fabrics require dedicated cleaners? Ease of use We record how much elbow grease and repeat applications are needed to clean off the stain with each of the products and home remedies. Texture of carpet We compare the cleaned zones to an unstained piece of carpet to see if there has been an effect on the carpet's texture. We examine them directly after cleaning and then after the zones have dried.

The best upholstery cleaner to buy in 2023

Trust me when I say that having a carpet cleaning solution in your caddy can be the difference between replacing your entire carpet or couch or salvaging your favorite furniture items. All it takes is a little elbow grease (or none at all if you invest in an electronic appliance). To clean upholstery that can't be washed, such as a couch or mattress, using an upholstery or spot cleaner is the best way to effectively clean the piece of furniture. What can upholstery cleaner be used for? Each zone is used for a stain - one of each type of stain for each product and home remedy being examined. As lead researcher for our carpet stain removers testing, I've spent hours scrubbing away at coffee, curry, red wine and tomato ketchup stains. More than 20 carpet tiles and some serious elbow grease later, here's what I've learned about shifting tough stains: But we don't go spilling red wine on our carpets and rugs on purpose, because that would be counterproductive. Instead, we keep them underneath our sink and use them when necessary, snapping photos as we go. We use them based on the instructions on the label and we'll always test them in an inconspicuous spot beforehand.
