Stain Removal Tips
Dye and food stains - Such as beverages, medicines, cosmetics, food and other liquids containing dyes should be absorbed first. The rinse quickly with cool water, follow with an approved cleaning solution or a mix of ¼ teaspoon clean (non-bleach, non-lanolin) dishwashing liquid with one cup cool water. Blot, repeat and rinse with clear water on a clean, white towel or white paper towel. Dry
Fingernail Polish - This can be removed using a non-acetone fingernail polish remover. Apply a small amount of the removed on a white cloth and work it from the edges of the spill to the center. Blot the area using lukewarm tap water. Dry with a clean cloth.
Urine or Vomit - If left unattended it can damage carpet in several ways. Always clean these up immediately with paper towels. For pet urine, try a solution of one part white vinegar and one part water. Blot with towel, repeat.
Wax - (paraffin from candles) Responds best when medium heat from an iron is applied to a clean white cloth or paper towel, which is placed over the wax spill. Repeat the heat application to the towel as the wax is absorbed. Sometimes dyes in wax won’t come out and fibers will have to be cut and the area replaced with a new carpet inset.
