The solution that the leading cleaning London companies suggest is: a teaspoon of dishwashing detergent added in a cup of warm water. Put it on a sponge and rub the dirty area. Then mix 2/3 cup of warm water with 1/3 cup of vinegar and sponge with this solution the stain. The last thing you should do is rinse with clean cold water and dry the place.

The solution for beverage stains is ¼ cup of hydrogen peroxide and 3 cups, mixed in a spray bottle. Apply it to the area you want to clean and wait for ten minutes. Then you need a mixture of ¼ cup vinegar and ¾ cup water with which you rinse the place and then blot dry.

Chocolate can be removed with a mixture of a teaspoon of balanced detergent and a cup of warm water, applied to the stain and gently blotted. Then you have to apply another solution to the stain – a tablespoon of ammonia plus ½ cup of water. If necessary repeat step one and step two until the spot is gone.

Ketchup stains can be removed while they are still fresh. If they are already dry, it is better to use professional London cleaning service. For a fresh stain put a little club soda. Blot it up gently, be careful not to rub the surface.
