Caring for your Carpets & Upholstery, Part 4

Tackling stains


 If you do stain your carpets or upholstery, take great care! Many ‘stain removal
guides’ provide a long list of products to use different situations – detergent, vinegar,
alcohol, benzene, acetone, dry cleaning solvent etc. Wrongly used you may end up
doing more harm than good and leave a permanent stain, which even a professional may have difficulty removing.
Plain water is the universal solvent that will work on most things. By using warm
water, a clean muslin-type cloth and gently dampening and blotting the stain, you will
work most things out. Be careful and patient and most importantly, do not rub the
affected area.
Alternatively, use Chem-Dry’s stain Extinguisher™, Professional Strength Spot
Remover or Grease & Oil remover as directed.
If a stain remains, or if in doubt, ask us to assess the situation.
