QC News March 2009 - Three Keys to Sucessful Spot Cleaning
Three Keys to Successful Spot Cleaning
Here are a few things to keep in mind when spotting your own carpet:
1. All spots are not created equal. All spots should not be cleaned with the same product. For example, urine spots that are dried should be cleaned with an "acid side" spotter due to the fact that the pH of urine changes within hours of drying. Oil or grease spots require a solvent-based spotter, and do-it yourself traffic area cleaning is best approached with a dry compound material, leaving just food and general spots for the general spotter.
2. Using the wrong product can actually cause a permanent stain. Many over-the-counter products are high in alkaline content and can actually "set" the stain. In addition, some tend to leave heavy residues that cause spots to re-soil quickly.
3. Spot cleaning is not a substitute for professional traffic area cleaning. Leaving traffic areas without professional attention for long periods of time will allow abrasive soils to damage carpet beyond repair. If you don't know how long it's been since you have cleaned your carpets, then it’s time!
