Prompt attention to spots and spills
is essential.
No carpet is stain proof, although many are stain resistant, which allows
time to act.
Save/Print Tips
Remove as
much of food spills as possible by scraping gently with
a spoon or dull knife.
Absorb wet
spills as quickly as possible by blotting repeatedly
with white paper or cloth towels.
Always
blot; never rub or scrub abrasively, as a fuzzy area may
result. When blotting, work from the outer edge in
toward the center of the spot to avoid spreading the
spill.
Always
follow up with water to remove detergent residue that
may become sticky and cause rapid re-soiling.
Draw out
any remaining moisture by placing several layers of
white towels over the spot and weigh them down with a
heavy object that will not transfer color, such as a
plastic jug of water.
