HE FIRST STEP IN EMERGENCY CARPET CARE

When accidents happen, you must act quickly to remove the spill or contaminant before it penetrates deeply into the carpet fibers. Use a spoon to remove solids, or a dry absorbent white cloth to remove liquids.

.
Next, wet a white cloth with H & F Steemer Professional Carpet & Upholstery Spot Remover. Wipe the spot from the outside toward the center. When finished, place dry absorbent white cloths over the area and apply pressure to absorb moisture.

Use 1/2 teaspoon of laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid in 1 cup of water. (Do not use automatic dishwashing detergent or a detergent containing bleach.)

After spot cleaning with dishwashing liquid or laundry detergent, wet a white cloth with plain water and wipe the area to remove detergent residue. When finished, place dry absorbent white cloths over the area and apply pressure to absorb moisture.

. Carpet which has been treated with a soil protector such as DuPont Teflon® Advanced, H & F Steemer SuperShield (manufactured by DuPont) or 3M Scotchgard® Carpet and Upholstery Protectors will "spot clean" easier than carpet which has not been protected. The need for rapid spill clean-up is imperative to prevent permanent staining or the possibility of odor development if food or beverage spills or animal accidents penetrate into the carpet backing or pad.
