Here are a few things to keep in mind when spotting your 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. There are specific cleaners for different spots. All cleaners are not created equal either!
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 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!
