Always remember to pre-test your carpet in an inconspicuous area before using any type of chemical cleaning agent. Pre-testing the carpet allows you to determine whether it's safe to use a chemical cleaning agent on your carpet's fibers. Most spills can be removed if immediate action is taken. Work from the edges of the spill to the center to prevent the spill from spreading. For semi-solid spills, gently scrape up excess with a rounded spoon before applying cleaning solution.
Several rinses are often necessary to remove all residue.
If none of these methods release the spill, call a professional carpet cleaner. Stop and think about the floor coverings in your home, and of the many good reasons to choose carpet. The Carpet and Rug Institute lists a few of those reasons below. Carpeted surfaces are significantly more effective at preventing slips and falls than hard, smooth surfaces. Maintaining balance, a consideration for individuals who use braces, a cane or a walker, can be less difficult with low pile carpet combined with an extra firm cushion.
