Emergency Stain Removal
Treat spots and spills at the first available opportunity. Cleaning up before the spill is worked into the fiber of the carpet reduces chances of permanent staining. Use a clean towel to blot up a thin liquid and try to immediately remove any excess material from a spill by using a spoon, so you don't damage the carpet fibers. If the spill is large, work from the outside edges toward the center to prevent spreading.
At some point, the dirt and oily resides deposited by day-to-day traffic will attract and hold dirt and debris
to the carpet fibers. Your vacuum will be unable to
pull them loose and lift them from the carpet. This is when your carpet needs to be cleaned with hot water, or steam extraction. A family with small children or pets may need to have their carpets cleaned twice a year. Mature families with minimal daily traffic may need cleaning once every two or three years. Look
at your carpet and decide.
