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.
