How to Clean Carpet Stains

Step 1: Blot the Blot
If you have a liquid spill never rub it in, just gently blot the spill with a towel.

Step 2: Spooning
For semi-solid stains like peanut butter use a spoon and gently scoop up the spill; when you have most of the spill up, gently blot with water and towel.

Step 3: Scrape
For solids like mud and dirt scrape the carpet with a dull knife breaking up the stain then vacuum. In you don’t have a wet/dry vacuum get one. Any remaining stains blot with towel and water and vacuum immediately.

Step 4: Gasp!!!Coffee!!!
For tougher stains like coffee first try the blotting technique if that fails you will have to use a carpet cleaning product. Be sure and test the product on a less visible area first, then apply the cleaner following the directions, then vacuum.

Step 5: Outside In
For all these techniques it is important to remember always work from the outside in stain; this prevents the stain from spreading.
