Accidents and spillages happen on your carpet and upholstery but they don’t have to become permanent stains. If you deal with a spill as soon as it happens you’ll be in the best position to remove the dirt with ease.
Here’s a simple guide to remove spots and spill on your carpeting.
1. Clean them immediately. Catching the spill whilst it’s still fresh gives you a good chance of removing it totally
2. Use a dry towel to blot the spill before applying the cleaning solution, removing as much as the spill as possible.
3. Test the cleaning solution on a hidden area of your carpet or sofa to check for discolouration. Simply apply a small amount of solution to the fabric and leave for 30 seconds, and then use a white paper towel to soak up the product and check for colour transfer.
4. Apply the spot cleaner, working from the outside of the mark towards the inside. This prevents the mark from spreading further. Do not over apply the solution, a little can go a long way.
5. Blot up all the moisture with a dry towel. Do not rub the spill as this could spread the mark or damage the fibres.
Not all stains are permanent. If you can’t completely remove a spill it may be you’re using the wrong product, or perhaps don’t have equipment strong enough. It may be worth getting a professional carpet cleaner in to assess the mark, or looking online for a better product to try.
