4 Easy Steps to

Clean Up a Spill on

Your

Carpets, Rugs, and

Upholstery

(without damaging them)

Have you ever tried cleaning a spot on your carpet or rug only to make it worse?

Using the wrong product or the wrong technique can actually damage your carpet or rug. Follow these simple instructions for best results. Please keep in mind that some spots require professional care.

STEP 1: Cover spill with WHITE napkin or paper towels. DO NOT use colored paper! It might transfer onto the carpet. Be sure to use a THICK stack to absorb as much of the spot as possible

STEP 2: Blot by stepping on stack of towels.
REPEAT THIS PROCESS UNTIL NO TRANSFER TAKES PLACE. DO NOT RUB!!!

STEP 3: Apply Spotting Agent. Warning: Do not use over the counter spot removers! They can leave a sticky residue that attracts soil and may discolor your textiles.. Instead, call us to find out what spotters are recommended.

STEP 4: REPEAT Steps 1 and 2. If the spot does not come out, do NOT attempt any further action, as you may set the spot and or damage your textiles. Instead, give us a call.

Do not over-wet the spot. Keep blotting until dry to the touch. You may then repeat all steps.

Have a Merry and spill free Holidays!
