Carpet spills and stain cleaning guide
Oh no. They say don’t cry over spilt milk (or wine, presumably), but that’s a little tricky when you’ve spilt it all over your carpet.
And whilst it may be the safest option to call a carpet cleaning professional, when it comes to stains on carpet, time is of the essence.
That’s why we’ve prepared a little cheat-sheet of our top five carpet stain removal tips for DIY stain treatment at home.
There to save the day, or at least until you can organise to have a Drytron professional carpet cleaner come around to properly tackle the problem.
Good luck!
STEP 1
DO NOT SCRUB OR RUB as it can cause permanent pile distortion. First scoop up all solids before cleaning.
STEP 2
BLOT UP AS MUCH LIQUID as possible using a clean, white towelling cloth or white paper towel.
STEP 3
CLEAN. Refer to instructions on your Stain Buster or Wee Buster pack. Apply spot removal agent/s to a clean white towel. Do not apply directly to the carpet. Always work from the outside of the stain or spill towards the middle to avoid further spreading using a blotting or dabbing motion.
STEP 4
RINSE with cold or lukewarm water only.
WARNING: Do not saturate.
STEP 5
BLOT DRY with absorbent material such as white paper towelling.
