Step 1: Remove Solids Immediately
The first step in handling any spill is to address any solids. Whether it’s food, pet waste, or debris, removing solids as quickly as possible prevents them from being ground into the carpet fibers. Use a spoon, spatula, or similar tool to gently lift away the solids without pressing them deeper into the carpet. This initial step helps reduce the potential for staining and makes the cleaning process much easier
Step 2: Blot the Spill, Don’t Scrub
Once you’ve removed the solids, it’s time to blot up the liquid. Never scrub the stain, as this can push the spill deeper into the carpet fibers, making it harder to remove. Instead, use a clean, dry cloth or paper towels to blot the area, working from the outside in to avoid spreading the stain further. Be gentle and blot repeatedly to absorb as much of the liquid as possible.
Step 3: Rinse the Area with Water
After blotting up as much liquid as you can, it’s time to rinse the area with clean, cool water. This helps to dilute any remaining spill and flush out some of the stain-causing substances. Apply a small amount of water to the area, then continue blotting with a clean towel to soak up the excess moisture. Be sure not to over-wet the carpet, as this can lead to mold growth or additional damage.
Step 4: Repeat as Needed
If the stain persists after blotting and rinsing, repeat the process. For tougher stains like coffee, wine, or pet urine, you may need to avoid all purpose cleaners to the area of the carpet. Some chemicals can cause damage or discoloration on your carpets. Our expert team is equipped with advanced technology and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to tackle even the toughest stains, leaving your carpets looking brand new.
