Cleaning spills when they happen is the best solution ever for keeping carpet looking its best! Generally speaking you are much more likely to be able to remove a spot if you take care of it right away. You'll want to remove as much of the substance BEFORE using spotters or other cleaning techniques using a white towel to blot the affected area. When you've removed as much of the substance as you can, in most cases we'd recommend using the spotter we left you at the time of your last cleaning (make sure to spot test it first and read the directions on the bottle). If you run out, just let us know and we'll be happy to get you another one. For more carpet care tips (and exclusive promotions), be sure to subscribe to our newsletter on our website.
