The idea that water can stain a carpet may seem impossible. How can clear water create discoloration and damage? In fact, the mineral content in water makes it easy for stains to appear on your carpeting, even in northern Georgia where the water is soft. Still, treating water stains on carpet does not require the use of chemicals. Here is why you might find stains—and how they can removed using specially treated water.
Water's Mineral Content
Minerals are present in every type of water, even in the Atlanta area where water is very soft. Calcium, iron, and magnesium are just a few examples of minerals that leave deposits on hard and soft surfaces. For the same reason sinks and showers show layers of buildup between cleanings, water can stain your carpet and leave discolorations whether the fabric is light or dark.
In most cases, this mineral content does not reflect poorly on the water quality of a municipality. In most of Georgia, the Environmental Protection Division actually mandates minimum levels of minerals like fluoride in the water, notes the Cherokee County Water & Sewerage Authority. As a homeowner, that means water spills on carpeting should be treated as any other substance. Ideally, you will dry the area where water spills quickly. When the water leaves a stain, you have options for removal during your next carpet cleaning.
Removing Water Stains on Carpet Naturally
If water is the culprit behind a carpet stain, it may seem unlikely that water, without soap or chemical content, could remove the spot on your carpeting, yet it depends on the system the cleaners use. ZEROREZ®'s ZR Clean ™ formula uses only electrolyzed and oxidized water to remove stains and other soils from carpets.
