Spot Removal Procedures:
Act quickly when anything
is dropped or spilled.
Remove spots before they
dry.
Blot liquids with a clean,
white absorbent cloth or
paper towel.
For semi-solids, scoop up
with a rounded spoon.
For solids, break up and
vacuum out as much as
possible.
Pre-test the spot removal
agent in an inconspicuous
area to make certain it will
not damage the carpet dyes.
Apply a small amount
of the cleaning solution
recommended for the
particular spot. Do not
scrub. Work from the edges
of the spot to the center.
Blot thoroughly. Repeat
until spot is removed.
Follow steps on the
Carpet Spot Removal
Guide.
After each application,
absorb as much as possible
before proceeding to the
next step.
Absorb remaining moisture
with layers of white paper
towels, weighted down
with a non-staining glass or
ceramic object.
When completely dry,
vacuum or brush the pile to
restore texture.
If the spot is not
completely removed,
contact a professional
carpet cleaner.
