Spots and Spills

- Mix ½ cup water with 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
- Mix until it is a milky thin consistency
- Apply to the spot and scrub in gently
- Allow to dry
- Brush loose
- Vacuum
- Coffee, tea, soda, or anything which contains a dye
- Sponge the spill/spot immediately (absorb with terry cloth)
- Soak with club soda or a mixture of part white vinegar an part water
- Lightly scrub the spot, applying more moisture from either solution until gone
- Keeping the spill moist until the spot is gone. This will keep the dye in the spill from setting into the carpet fibers.
- Pet Stains
- Spray on a solution of part white vinegar and part water. The vinegar will attract the acid from the pet stain preventing browning or yellowing of the carpet fiber.
