Hey,
My house caught fire and some of the carpet were burnt. And some of it didn't and there are smoke stains on it. My wife tried to wash it but it didn't go. Can someone share some helpful tips to remove it?

"Smoke Stains" is a vague description of the problem but smoke damage will typically consist of soot particles and various tars.
generally these will be treated with cationic surfactants but there are many variations that may need to be considered, which is why fire damage restoration is a specialist field.
Attempts to treat by the untrained utilising inappropriate chemistry may well have set the stains or at least rendered removal more difficult. |

Every problem has solutions but many of those remain out of invention. However, you can Mix 1/2 cup powdered all-purpose cleaner with 1 gallon water and use a sponge dipped in the solution to scrub the stain away.
Allow to dry after rinsing thoroughly to remove all chemicals. |

Hey there. Sorry to hear about the fire at your house. That's a tough situation to go through. When it comes to removing smoke stains, it can be a bit of a challenge, but there are a few things you can try. First, try using a mixture of white vinegar and water to gently scrub the stains. Another option is to try using a solution of baking soda and water or even a store-bought carpet stain remover. If all else fails, you may need to consider calling in a professional carpet cleaner to help get those stubborn stains out. Good quality padding can help extend the life of your carpet and make it feel softer underfoot. Good luck.
