Tips & Warnings

• Always test the cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous part of the carpet before applying them to a large area.
• Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to prevent any dyes from coming off on the carpet. Don't rub.
• As you blot, keep turning the cloth so that you are using a clean, dry section to pick up the stain and cleaning fluids from the carpet.
• If using a brush to help clean the stain, always brush from the outer edges of the spill inward to prevent the stain from spreading.

on 11/22/2005 This is so simple and it works!! Just simply spray "any" inexpensive window cleaner on an "old" or "new" stain, on your carpet. Let it sit for a while, then wash it out!! I've "never" had "any" problems with it discoloring or ruining anything!

on 11/22/2005 Real men don't EVER let beer spill.. but if you do just vacuum up as MUCH as you can before the carpet fibers become saturated. I just put a small amount of water to dilute and the beer eventually will break down.
