Hello. We wanted to post mention of our already...

Question:

[Customer]: I appreciated the "how to remove beer odor" instructions, but what about when the beer has penetrated deep into the carpet and the carpet is now dry? Soak it with bac out and blot ?

Answer:

Hi there [Customer],

Pour at least as much bac-out onto the carpet as the quantity of beer that spilled, and in the exact same spot so that it follows the same path that the beer did. Ideally, 50% more. Then let soak overnight, or until dry.

Be aware however that, if the moisture in the beer caused any damage, such as swelling of baseboards or subfloor, or leaking into ceiling below (if not on first floor), the bac-out will follow the same path, and could initiate more damage from it’s moisture as well. Although this is rarely a problem, it is something to be aware of.

If the odor still persists, but has subsided, feel free to apply second treatment once the first treatment is dry. You may want to do a fresh water rinse over the surface once all is complete and dry, as the bac-out may leave a little tacky residue on the surface of the fibers. It will not hurt the fibers, but it can attract soil over time and make the area appear soiled.

To rinse, run plain water (or add an ounce of vinegar per gallon to) a portable machine (if you have one), otherwise, simply spray water onto the surface with a trigger sprayer, and gently brush in a circular motion (no back and forth scrubbing) with a clean, white terry cloth towel. Use large circles going in the same direction, and then after doing this a few times you can switch direction. If it’s a berber carpet, you may have to simply blot the area, as they don’t take too well to brushing in a circular motion.

Good Luck!

Thank You.
