How To Care For your Carpet!! Spot and Spill Treatments Immediate spot removal is the key to a clean carpet. Great care also must be taken in how spot cleaning is performed. When a carpet is new, or has sufficient protector in it, plain tap water will remove many spots. However for those spots that will not move easily with water, you should call your local cleaning professional. They have access to spotting solutions which have been formulated by the same companies who make their professional cleaning solutions. These types of spotters have been demonstrated to be more effective, as well as not to leave sticky residue which can cause your carpets to re-soil very quickly. Most spot removers that are purchased over the counter at your local store leave too much sticky residue and can cause quick re-soiling or yellowing. Avoid using foam carpet cleaners or any product that is not made specifically for the carpet. The longer the spot is allowed to dwell on the carpet, the more chance there is of permanent discoloration. Blot up any excess spill, Apply spot cleaner sparingly to a white cotton towel and gently massage the spot causing it to transfer into the cloth. Never pour spot cleaner directly on the carpet. Blot area with water, if the spot persists consult your professional carpet cleaner. Some spots and spills require the professional equipment, cleaning solutions, and skills of a professional. Repeated attempts to remove the spot may set the stain or cause permanent damage.
