Carpet Cleaning - Cleaning Spills

Regardless of how careful you try to be with your carpet care, someone will eventually spill something on the carpet.  Although unfortunate you can usually clean the spill without leaving a stain on your carpet.  The most important thing for you to remember is to act quickly on the spill.Even though you are quick to act there are other steps which you can follow to prevent your carpet from spotting.

Before you use an type of cleaning products you will want to test an area of your carpet that is not easily seen to determine if the cleaning product is safe for your carpeting.  This step should be done prior any spill happening as you need to act quickly on a spill and won’t have time to test the product. 

To begin cleaning you need to carefully blot the area prior to applying any cleaning products.  Remove as much of the spill as you possibly can by blotting the area.If you start by first adding cleaning products, you stand a chance of creating a larger stain as the cleaning products you use could cause the stain to spread.

One of the best clothes you can use when cleaning carpet spills is a large white towel.It will help absorb the liquid and thus help in cleaning the spill.  The towel will also help to bring up the nap of the carpet as you clean. 

You must not rub the spill.  If you proceed to rub the spill it will spread it into a larger area and you will then be cleaning a big spill.Consequently, you will want to work from the outside to the inside of the spill after you apply your cleaner.This is because most stains set quickly as the spill dries.Keep in mind that if you work from the center of the spill outward, this will allow time for the outside of the spill to begin drying and thus allowing the outside to stain.
