Spot Removal can buy you time until you get your carpets professionally cleaned!
What to do with that pesky office spill or dirt marks when your otherwise clean carpet has a
blemish or two? There are several steps to follow to spot clean carpets.
Begin by trying to identify the spot and attempt to determine what caused the stain. Note the appearance, color, location, shape, feel and smell as a means to determine appropriate cleaning chemicals and procedure.
Procedures to follow:
- Remove excess soils by gently scraping the affected area with a blunt edged scraping device. If the spot is moist you should blot any excess moisture before beginning.
- Try blotting the spot first with a white absorbent cloth dampened with water.
- Select the proper spotting chemical after you have identified the spot. Before you begin always test the spotting chemical in an inconspicuous area to ensure color fastness or possible fiber damage.
- Apply (spray) the chemical directly on the affected area. Do not over wet. On a large spot, apply chemical from outside edges in toward the center.
- Agitate gently with a soft brush to work the spotting agent into the fiber of the carper. Avoid deep or heavy agitation with the brush that could cause damage or destroy the carpets integrity. Work the brush in every direction around the fibers.
- After the proper time recommended by the product label directions, blot the area with a clean white absorbent cloth or paper towel removing loose dirt. If the spot has not been removed, repeat the previous steps until spot is completely gone. Be carful not to over wet the carpet.
- Apply a spray or mist of water to the areas you have cleaned and blot immediately. With a clean white cloth remove any excess chemical from the carpet. Extraction equipment can be used in place of this procedure.
- Vacuum area after the carpet dries completely.
