Remember

Quick action is your BEST defense against permanent carpet stains.

While most new carpet is treated with a stain guard which can be renewed during regular carpet maintenance, there is no such thing as a 100% stain-proof carpet.

IN THE EVENT OF SMALL EMERGENCIES

Grease solvent - dry cleaning fluid or spot remover
     Nail polish remover
     Rubbing alcohol
     Turpentine

2. Act fast. Scrape or blot up all excess spill or material.

3. Pre treat. When water is called for, use only lukewarm to avoid setting the stain.

Greasy spills - sponge gently with grease solvent or apply granular (dry) detergent.

Non greasy spills - sponge with solu¬tion of one teaspoon liquid detergent to one cup water. Do not use soap.

Animal stains - sponge freely with cold water. Apply solution of three tablespoons white vinegar to one quart water. Sponge with detergent suds and rinse.

  • "Feather" area by sponging edges ir-regularly
  • Blot damp/dry quickly to avoid rings
