Spot Removal Steps

1. Act Quickly! The majority of the carpets available today in Miami have been treated with a stain-resist treatment, so many spots and spills can be removed if immediate action is taken. The longer you wait to take action, the higher the likelihood of a spill becoming a permanent stain. Remember, staining is influenced by several factors, and no carpet is completely stain proof.

2. Blot liquids with an absorbent, dry, white cloth or white paper toweling with no printing.

3. Do not scrub the area! Scrubbing the affected area on the carpet may cause pile distortion in the location. Continue to use dry cloths or paper towels until the area is completely dry. For semi-solid spills, gently scrape up what you can with a rounded spoon. Solid spills should be broken up and vacuumed until they are completely removed. If the spot can be identified, locate the substance in the spot removal computer and follow the directions carefully.

4. Pretest any spot removal agent in an inconspicuous area to be certain the solution will not damage the fiber or the dye. After applying 3 -4 drops to the testing area, hold down a dry, white cloth onto the wet area for 10 seconds. Examine the carpet and cloth for any color change, color transfer, or damage done to the carpet. If a change does occur, you should select another cleaning solution to try.

5. Apply a small amount of the selected cleaning solution to a white cloth and gently work it in.

6. Work from the edges of the spill to the center to prevent the spill from spreading. Do not scrub the affected area! Continue to blot the area to absorb as much of the stain as possible. Repeat if necessary.

7. Continue using the first cleaning solution as long as there is a transfer of the spill to the cloth. It is not necessary to use all of the cleaning solutions if the first solution successfully removes the spill.

8. Be patient! Completely removing the spill may require repeating the same step multiple times. Do not continue to step 9 until the stain has been completely removed.

9. Rinse the affected area thoroughly with cold water, and blot with an absorbent cloth until all of the solution has been removed. Some cleaning solutions will cause rapid soiling if the solution is not removed completely.

10. Apply a one-half inch layer of white paper towels to the affected area, and weigh down with a flat, heavy object. Continue to change the paper towels as is needed. A dry, absorbent, cleaning compound may also be used as a substitute to accelerate drying time.
