Special Water Based Stains Guide

Step 1
For large stains, work from the outside of the stain to the center to prevent spreading.
Blot up liquid spills with a white towel or paper towel
Mix a solution of 1/4 teaspoon of clear hand dish washing detergent with 1 cup of water. Stir gently.
Apply detergent solution directly to a white cloth. Dampen the carpet fibers in the stained area with the cloth, avoid saturating the carpet.
Wipe gently. Turn cloth frequently. Never rub, scrub or use a brush. This may damage carpet fibers.
If necessary, use your fingertips to work the solution to the base of the stain.
Wet the stained carpet fibers with clear, luke warm water to rinse.
Cover the spot with an absorbent white towel or paper towel and apply pressure.
Repeat rinsing and blotting until all traces of the detergent have been removed.
If the stain is gone, place an absorbent white towel or paper towel over the area cleaned, and weigh towels down with a heavy colorfast object, such as a weighted plastic wastebasket.
Change towels or paper towels until the carpet dries.
If the stain remains, proceed to step 2.
Step 2
Mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 2 cups of water.
Apply vinegar solution, rinse and blot as outlined in Step 1.
