Please note: Some carpets may have special cleaning requirement. You should first refer to the manufacturers care instructions to ensure that our suggested treatments do not contradict those of the manufacturer. You should always pre-test any treatments on an off cut or inconspicuous area. The information is offered in good faith to help minimise the damage caused by the spills, therefore no responsibility can be accepted for claims arising from or the results of the use of any suggested treatments.
Spot and stain removal. There are just two rules of thumb in this simple spotting guide. BLOT DILUTE BLOT
Blot dilute blot. Blot with paper towels or toilet paper. Then dilute with water. Then blot again. When you have finished blotting and diluting and blotting, cover the area with a thick wad of paper towels and cover it with a book. Leave this for 12 or more hours to allow the remaining spill to soak up into the wad of paper towels. Use this method for the stains below.
- For Water Based spills. Water based spills like tea, coffee soft drink and other beverages need nothing more than water. They are already water soluble so you don’t need any chemistry to dilute them. Simply blot as much of the spill as possible and then dilute with just a little bit of water and then blot out that water as mentioned above.
- For Fatty or Oily Spills. Fatty and oily spills such as ice-cream and gravy and other foods need a detergent solution. We recommend using adetergent spotter such as SafeClean’s Remarkable Spot Remove or dishwashing detergent diluted. Again simply blot up or scoop up as much of the spill as possible and then dilute with a little bit of the detergent. Blot up this detergent as much as possible and then rinse with a little bit of water. Blot again and then cover with a wad of paper towel and place a book on top. Leave the paper on for 12 or more hours to draw out residues.
CAUTION do not try and remove these stains yourself: Ink, lipstick, hair dye, wax and felt pens as this can cause the stain to spread. Remember drinks such as red cordial can be permanent if not treated straight away using the above described methods.
