How To Clean Your Carpet

– Clean spills immediately, once a stain is set it becomes much more difficult to clean.

– Never rub a spill as this forces the spill deeper into the carpet. Instead, blot the stain with a clean white cloth.

– For wool carpets, use lukewarm water to remove any residual stain, as wool is more prone to bleeding and staining than synthetic fibers.

– Always use clean water to remove any residual cleaner, and dry towels to absorb any remaining moisture.
