    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.

      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!

      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.
