Clean-Up of Common Food & Beverage Spills
Simple regular upkeep will enhance the beauty and enjoyment of your carpet. One key is the prompt, proper clean-up of food and beverage spills.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE:
Blot up as much of the spill as possible, using a clean, white absorbent cloth or white paper towels. If spill is food, scoop up excess using a spoon. If a lot of liquid was spilled, use a wet-vacuum machine. Act promptly to keep spill from penetrating into the carpet pile.
Douse stain with warm, not hot, water and blot with a clean, white cloth or paper towels. Press down firmly to remove as much liquid as possible. Do not rub,rubbing can alter carpet texture. Repeat until no stain is evident on cloth or towels.
If stain remains, make a solution of warm water and mild non-bleach liquid laundry, not dishwashing, detergent (1 teaspoon to 1 quart water). Apply enough solution to cover stain and let soak for about 5 minutes. Blot up excess moisture with clean, white cloth or white paper towels.
Rinse with warm water and blot thoroughly to extract excess moisture. Repeat until all detergent is removed.
Absorb remaining moisture with layers of white paper towels, weighted down overnight with non-staining glass or ceramic object.
When completely dry, vacuum or brush the pile to restore carpet texture.
Ghost Stain: After drying, if the stain reappears, it may be because some stain remained deep in the pile and wicked up to the surface. If so, repeat steps 3 to 6. Rinse well to remove all residues.
