  4. Wash the affected area.
  5. Wash off the soap with clean water.

  • pour 0.3 liters of water into a bowl;
  • add 1 tbsp. l. ammonia;

Features of removing aroma from various surfaces

Depending on the type of material that has been damaged by the beer, a method is determined to eliminate the odor.

It is always more difficult to eliminate unpleasant odors from upholstered furniture, oversized items and porous surfaces than from smooth ones. The faster you get to cleaning, the higher the likelihood of successful odor removal.

Sofa and other upholstered furniture

It is quite difficult to clean upholstered furniture from the smell of beer... This is due to the fact that the liquid quickly permeates the upper layer of the fabric and then spreads over the padding. Even if there is no stain on the material, the smell can persist for a very long time. The odor removal approach should take into account the material of the upholstery.

If the fabric is not demanding to care for, then you can use any of the recipes given. Commercial cleaning products and odor neutralizers may also be used.

Car

foto28153-7The enclosed space of the car and the padded seats create an environment conducive to retaining odors.

If the source of the unpleasant odor is the rugs, they should be removed and washed thoroughly with cleaning products. They can be returned to the car only after they have dried out.

Seats damaged by beer are harder to clean. Covers, if any, must be removed and washed. The seats themselves must be cleaned according to one of the recipes. It is possible to supplement the care with the purchase of an odor neutralizer.

Carpet

The stain should be blotted immediately with a cloth or cloth with good absorbency. Thereafter you can use carpet shampoo, for example TM Vanish.

When the beer has been absorbed into the napkin, and the stain has been washed, it is recommended to sponge the affected area with acidified water. Drying must be mandatory and of high quality.

clothing

If beer has been spilled on your clothes, treating the stain with a stain remover and doing a good wash with a reliable detergent can help. You may even need to wash it again and then dry it outdoors.

If soiled clothes cannot be washed, you will have to contact a dry cleaner. Specialists will remove both the stain and the unpleasant odor. An odor neutralizer can also be used for processing TM Helmetex clothes.

Recommendations
