If you are the one who is really worry about your carpet, here
is some simple guide for treating stains and maintaining carpets
and upholstery.

water and blotting with white paper towels or cloths. Never
scrub or brush the spill as it will damage fibers and possibly
set the stain. Only if this method does not work should you move
on to harsher treatments.
2. Regular vacuuming and spot treatment will improve the quality
and life span of your carpets and upholstery.
3. Since chemicals are hard on the fibers of carpets and
upholstery, you should always start with the weakest solution

hidden spot to make certain it won't stain. Place a white paper
towel or cloth on the tested area to check for color transfer.
If the cleaner is safe apply a small amount of spot removal
product to a clean, white cloth and work your way from the
OUTSIDE of the stain inwards. Keep at it only using a stronger
solution when you are no longer getting results with water or
mild detergent.

need to rinse. Hydrogen Peroxide works equally well on vinyl
furniture.
5. When the stain is removed rinse with clean water and blot the
excess out. Replace towels when they are too wet to absorb
anymore water. Be careful to avoid over wetting as it can also
damage your carpet or cause mildew in your carpet or upholstered
furniture.

long way in keeping your carpets and upholstery looking as good
as new!
