How To Deal With Spills On carpet: Advice From The Experts

There are many people who have the mistaken idea that carpet, or other things like area rugs, aren’t worth buying because they’re too difficult to properly manage and keep clean. In fact, if you know how to care for carpet, it's rather easy.. Luckily for you, TST knows all about carpet cleaning and conditioning, and we’ve compiled this short guide to help you take great care of your carpet and rugs. We also offer tile cleaning.

Cleaning Spills and Conditioning Carpet

When you do happen to spill something on carpet, the most important thing is just to clean it up fairly quickly. When cleaning carpets or rugs, use a soft, dry cloth and allow the area to air dry. If you aren’t able to find a cloth quick enough for whatever the reason may be, simply spread the spill towards the edge of the furniture and brush it off. Though this may sound like you’re just spreading the stain around, you’ll actually eliminate the outline of the watermark, which is the most obvious sign of a stain.

If your furniture is a piece of wool, then it was once part of a living animal. Since that animal is no longer able to condition the leather with its natural body oils, the burden of cleaning the rug falls on you, and you’ll have to do it regularly to keep the rug in good condition. It should be about every 6 to 12 months. For specifics, contact the manufacturer of your specific piece of carpet.
