EMERGENCY SPOT CLEANING FOR CARPETS: CARPET CLEANING HIGHLANDS RANCH

Spills happen. Kids, pets, coffee, wine — especially in Highlands Ranch homes with carpet everywhere. What you do in the first 3 minutes decides if it's a quick blot or a permanent stain. Do not scrub.  Scrubbing frays carpet fibers and pushes the spill deeper.Do blot and absorb. Press a white towel directly into the carpet to absorb moisture. Do not use store-bought carpet cleaners. Many can actually bleach the color from the carpet and set the stain.DO use 1:1 vinegar solution. 1 part white distilled vinegar to 1 part water. This handles most problem spots around the house.

Quick steps general spills: Sop up as much as possible, pour distilled white vinegar or club soda on top, let sit 3 minutes, then blot or shop-vac out. If still damp, mound cornstarch for 20 minutes to lift remaining moisture. Pet accidents / urine / vomit, use a shop-vac solids/liquid, press with towel, spray 1:1 water and vinegar liberally, let sit 2 minutes, shop-vac again. For red wine, coffee, blood, paint, Ink, blot first, always. For white wine or club soda for red wine while still wet. Warm salt water for blood. Shop-vac paint immediately — do not rub.If the spot dries and comes back, it's wicking from the pad underneath.
