How to Care for Your Carpet 3. Spot and Spill Treatments- Immediate spot removal is the key to a clean looking carpet. Great care also must be taken in how spot cleaning is performed. When a carpet is new, or has sufficient protector on it, plain tap water will remove many spots. However for thoes spots that will not move easily with water, you must use a spotting solution specifically designed for carpeting. Most spot removers that are purchased over the counter leave too much soap residue and can cause rapid resoiling or yellowing. 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 white terry cloth and gently massage spot causing it to transfer into the cloth. Never pour spot cleaner directly on carpet. Blot area with water. If the spot is stubborn, consult your professional carpet cleaner (UNIQUE STEAMING CARPET CLEANING). 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.
