Carpet Cleaning

There are no magic tricks when it comes to carpet cleaning spot stains. It requires patience and time for effective removal. However, there are some steps you can take to help make things easier for you. Firstly, if you have a spill try remove it as quickly as possible by blotting with a white paper towel or moist sponge. Then use cold water misting to rinse and repeat blotting with an absorbent white towel. This may not completely get the stain out, but it will help to minimize its appearance and make it easier when cleaning in the future.
