Now that you have your spot removal kit ready to go, here are some steps to take to clean up those messes. Dont let stains get the upper hand. - Catch it while its fresh, when chances of removal are 75% better. Dont iron or hot-air dry until the stain is gone. Heat will set most stains. - First blot up all the liquid and scrape up all the solids you can. On a large liquid spill you can use a wet/dry vac. Be careful not to spread the stain. - Test any chemical you intend to use in a hidden area to make sure it wont discolor or damage the surface. - Apply spotter and work from the outside of the stain in, to avoid spreading. Blot, dont scrub; strike with the flat face of a spotting brush if needed to help break up the stain. - Rinse chemical spotters out with water, blot the area dry and feather the edges. Brush or fluff up pile or nap. - On carpet and upholstery, put a thick pad of toweling over the spot, weight it down with books, and leave it there overnight to wick up any remaining moisture.
