How To Treat Fresh Carpet Stains

3 Quick Do-it-Yourself Spot Removal Tips

1.      Use a Wet Vacuum to remove as much of the liquid and soil as possible. A wet vacuum will pull up the soil up instead of pressing it down into the backing of your carpet.

2.      After you remove the soil, treat the spot with a quality spot cleaner and gently wipe with a damp towel.

3.      If the spot remains, treat it again and pour a glass of water on the area to rinse. Extract the water with the wet vacuum.

A small wet vacuum is more effective
 for removing spills than towels

              

                   Pre-test Instructions

                   Pre-test by applying the spot treatment 

                   to an inconspicuous area. Gently agitate the 

                   tested area with a white cloth. If bleeding 

                   or shrinkage occurs, do not continue.

Most Spots: Use a spot remover (avoid high residue spotters like Resolve) and follow the directions above.

Grease or Oils: For greasy spots, apply rubbing alcohol to a cloth and gently dab the spot. Never pour it directly on your carpet.

Wax: Melt the wax onto a paper bag with a steam iron. Place the paper bag over the wax. Do not allow the iron to directly touch the carpet.
