How to Get Raspberry Stains Out of Carpet

Raspberry juice or raspberry pulp stains on a light-colored carpet is an intimidating sight. The quicker the homeowner reacts to the mess, the more successful he will be in removing the stain. It is essential to respond with the correct treatment because the wrong cleanser sets the stains more deeply into the carpet. Raspberry stains are classified as tannin stains and are water-based. They are removed by taking fast action with everyday household cleansers, exercising some patience, and making a little bit of effort.
