- Carpet CleaningAnswer: If spot is wet, blot it, don't rub. Rubbing spreads the soil. If spot is dry, loosen soil and vacuum away prior to moistening it. Always rinse cleaned area thoroughly. If not removed, cleaning products may cause the cleaned area to attract soil. When taking out stains, always use a white cotton cloth, blot never rub the carpet (this will damage the fibers). Clean spots and stains immediately, you will have much better chance of removing them. When using any cleaner, dilute according to direction. A mixture that is too potent may cause damage. Not every stain can be removed. Consult a professional carpet cleaning company for cleaning options. Always pre-test the surface to be cleaned. Apply cleaning solution (see formula below) to an inconspicuous area of the same material. If, after five minutes, the material's color transfers to towel, try another product. Carpet shampoo is good to have on hand and is available at most hardware stores. Remember shampoo’s purchased will contain a lot of detergent/soap and needs to be rinsed thoroughly to remove residue soap.
