How to Clean Up a Spill and Keep Your Carpet Safe
 |
1) Generously apply napkin, paper towels or other heavily absorbant cloth. You want to make sure you stay away from any colored materials that may bleed onto the affected area. Remember the bigger the stack the better a chance that you will pull out more of the stain. |
| 2) Now you'll compress your napkins, towel, or cloth to absorb the maximum amount of moisture. A good way to do this is to step on the material. Continue to do this until you notice that you are not pulling up any more of the stain. By all means, do not rub or scrub the area. |  |
3) Now you will want to apply a professional spotting solution or agent. Remember, don't use spot removers that are available at your local hardware, home improvement, or grocery store! Most of them will leave behind a residue which attracts soil over time that will destroy your carpet. Instead, ask us how to get a bottle of spotting agent!

4) If your stain is organic like a pet urine stain, only use spotters that are labeled for pet use. Their urine will become alkaline from being exposed to oxygen. Organic Spotter Agents are used to neutralize this alkalinity. It is imperative that you get your carpet cleaned as soon after the accident as possible, the remnants that can still be left behind after you clean will discolor your textile and collect odor causing bacteria.
