General Procedures for spills

It is important that you act quickly upon encountering a spill!

Depending on the spill, absorb the liquid spills by blotting (DO NOT RUB) with absorbent cloths or plain white paper towels.  You can scrape lightly to loosen a hard or crusty type stain, or scoop up soft substances with the dull edge of a spoon or vacuum any loose particles that can be readily removed.

Sponge warm water onto the spill, blot the spill firmly using a sponge or cloth. Repeat this procedure several times, rinsing the sponge or cloth frequently. Take care not to get the carpet too wet and do not walk on the carpet until thoroughly dry. The final process on carpets after following wetting and blotting should be as follows: Place 5-6 layers of kitchen roll on the affected area and place on top a heavy book. Allow to dry over 2-4 hours. The kitchen roll will absorb any stain in the base fibres.
