Carpet Spot Treatment Tips

1. Blot up as much liquid as possible using a clean white towel.
2. Work from the outside of the spot toward the center so it does not spread.
3. Lightly rinse with a small amount of cool water, then blot again until the towel stops picking up color.

Avoid

Scrubbing, soaking the carpet, or using strong cleaners.

When To Call

1. Colored drinks move fast, so start blotting immediately with a clean white towel.

1. Blot up as much moisture as possible with a clean white towel or paper towels.
2. Apply pressure to pull moisture out of the carpet, but avoid rubbing.

Avoid

Powders, perfumes, or heavy store-bought deodorizers. They may only mask the smell while leaving the source behind.

When To Call

Urine can soak into the carpet pad or subfloor, which is why odor sometimes returns after the surface looks clean. We can inspect the area and recommend odor neutralization, subsurface extraction, or padding replacement when needed. Call (505) 585-2213

1. Let the mud dry first. Wet mud smears and spreads deeper into the fibers.
2. Once dry, vacuum slowly and thoroughly to remove as much loose soil as possible.
3. Lightly blot what remains with a damp white towel.

Avoid

Scrubbing, over-wetting, or soap-heavy cleaners that leave residue.

When To Call

If the area still looks dark after drying, the soil is embedded and needs a professional clean. Call (505) 585-2213

1. Don't pour water on it. Grease and oil are different from water-based spills.
2. Blot gently with a clean white towel to remove any excess.

Avoid

Scrubbing, and heavy dish soap. Leftover residue attracts more dirt.

When To Call

Oily spots often need specialty products to break down the residue without spreading it. Call if the spot feels slick or sticky, or keeps coming back. Call (505) 585-2213

1. Carefully lift any solid food with a spoon or a dull edge, gently, so you don't grind it deeper.
2. Blot the remaining moisture with a clean white towel, working from the outside toward the center.
3. If needed, add a small amount of cool water and keep blotting.

Avoid

Scrubbing, or using too much cleaner.

When To Call

Sauces, oils, dyes and dairy can leave residue or odor if they are not fully removed. Call (505) 585-2213

Keep it simple. Blot with a clean white towel.

Avoid

Random cleaners, bleach, peroxide, or heavy soap. Different stains need different treatment, and the wrong product can set the stain or cause discoloration.

When To Call

If the spot has an odor, a sticky feel, an unusual color, or keeps coming back after drying, have it inspected before more products go on. Call (505) 585-2213
