Types Of Stains On Carpets
Many different types of stains occur on your carpet and are explained below:

The things from which these types of stains occur are ink, oil, and grease which penetrate the fibres of the carpet and for the removal of these types of stains, organic solvents or dry solvents are used.
- Water-soluble stains
These types of stains occur from mud, beverages, food, markers, and water-based pens and are easily removed with the help of cleaning agents which are water-based.
- Synthetic stains or man-made stains
These stains are created by red dyes, sports drinks and kool aids. The given type of stains can be removed through the application of reducing agents.
- Protein stains
Protein stains occur through blood, vomit or faeces, etc. and they can be removed with the help of protein digesters which are enzymatic products.
- Natural or organic stains
Coffee or tea forms organic stains on the carpet because the heat of the stains binds with the fibres of the carpet and leaves a tanned stain behind. These stains are removed with the help of water-soluble products but with a lot of difficulties.
The Chemistry Behind Skin Lotion Stain Removal
Skin lotions are chemically carbon chain compounds that are organic and these stains can be easily broken by enzymes and or can be removed with the help of surfactants. These surfactant compounds are generally compounded having a charged water-soluble head and an oil-soluble tail.
They removed the lotion stain by forming micelles around the stain in which the oil-soluble part gets stuck to the surface and the oil-soluble portion gets dissolved in the lotion water-insoluble part and thus the whole micelle structure becomes water-soluble and easily able to wash out the stain.
