SPILLS ... continued from page 1
Here are a few recommendations to help increase your chances of a successful stain treating outcome :
DO NOT rub or scrub the carpet with a towel or brush . This will distort the face yarns and cause permanent damage to the surface , which will only amplify the look of any stain .
DO pick up any chunks and then remove the excess liquid by gently blotting or scraping up as much of the spill as you can . If it is a liquid , such as coffee , wine or soda , use a white towel and blot up as much of the spill as possible . Keep blotting until your towel stops absorbing liquid .
DO NOT spread the spot . When scraping up thick spills , such as spaghetti sauce , work gently from
The Good Life
the outside edges of the spot toward the middle . Scrape up as much as possible before using any spot cleaners .

In addition , they will have the equipment to promptly remove the stain and flush it with fresh water . Prompt professional attention is your best chance to remove spills without damaging the color or texture of your carpet .

A cleaning product must be carefully chosen for the type of spot and the kind of fabric that your carpet is made from . If you try to use the wrong product , or use it incorrectly , you may make the spill more difficult or even impossible for even the most experienced professional to remove .
