Uh oh, somebody just spilled or tracked in dirt, what can you do?

Need to learn how to get stains out of carpet and upholstery on your own? Can you really remove spots from your carpet or upholstery without hiring a professional?

The answer is … maybe.

1. Catch it while it’s fresh, when chances of removal are 75% better. Don’t iron or hot-air dry until the stain is gone. Heat will set most stains.
2. First blot up all the liquid and scrape up all the solids you can. On a large liquid spill you can use a wet/dry vac. Be careful not to spread the stain.
3. We recomend using “D.S. Spotter carpet & upholstery spot and stain remover” for almost all of your stain needs, check out our link to order some today!
4. Apply D.S. spotter and work from the outside of the stain in, to avoid spreading. Blot, don’t scrub; strike with the flat face of a spotting brush if needed to help break up the stain.
5. Blot the area dry and feather the edges. Brush or fluff up pile or nap.
6. Put a thick pad of toweling over the spot, weight it down with books, and leave it there overnight to “wick up” any remaining moisture.
