Carpet Care Tips
General Spotting Rules: Identify stain and use appropriate spotter(s). If stain can not be identified, use General Purpose Spotter. If stain remains, use Paint, Oil, and Grease Spotter. Follow with a thorough rinsing so no cleaner residue is left in carpet. For more information, please go to Spot Removal 101.
Difficult Spots and Stains:
- Rust Removal: After applying Rust Remover to a carpet, always neutralize with Alkaline Conditioner.
- Asphalt Tracking: Vacuum thoroughly before applying diluted Heavy Duty Prespray. Agitate with a carpet rake, extractor, or brush and let sit for 10 minutes to loosen soils. Extract according to directions. Dry Carpets as quickly as possible.
Reoccurring Spots: This occurs because excessive soil or detergent from spotter remains in carpet. Remove by recleaning with appropriate spotter, rinse until thoroughly clean, and blot dry.
Preventing reoccurring spots from wicking:
- When spotting, be sure to blot until all of the liquid is removed.
- Dry the carpet as quick as possible using carpet fans or some type of air mover. Note: Use Minimum Moisture MethodTM/MC carpet cleaner and maintainer for helping excessive wet spots.
- Use a carpet rake. Depending on the thickness of the pile of the carpet, using a carpet rake can decrease drying time by at least 30%.
- Do not overwet the carpet.
Removing reoccurring spots from wicking: Apply Minimum Moisture MethodTM/MC carpet cleaner and maintainer directly to the spot. Work into carpeted area with a soft brush and allow to dwell for 5-10 minutes. Vacuum thoroughly. Repeat process if necessary. |
