Cleaning Spot Stains Immediately
- As soon as a spill happens, start spot cleaning the rug. Never allow carpet stains to sit longer than necessary, or the stain will absorb into the fibers and cause a much worse issue like mildew or foul odors.
- Blot the stain using a damp, clean cloth.
- Don’t rub, or the stain may become worse. Use a paper towel to dry the rug, placing a heavy object on top of the paper towels to soak up water from deep inside. If water alone doesn’t work, try club soda. It’s ideal for stains from juice or wine.
- Never scrub, or the carpet fibers may face damage. Also, only use a small portion of club soda at once rather than flooding the carpet.
- Work from the outside of the spot towards the middle.
- If job is not done, then you need to call Pro Carpet Care for some professional backup.
