Tips


 
First Aid for Spills and Stains
 
1.  Act quickly.  If liquid, blot up as much as possible with a clean absorbent cloth or tissue.  If solid, scrape up as much as possible with a spoon or the blunt edge of a knife.

2. Using a clean sponge or cloth, mop up the remaining spill carefully, working from the edges of the spill towards the centre.  Never over wet, scrub or rub too hard.

3. Blot dry with a new pad or absorbent cloth or tissue.

4. Reset the carpet or upholstery pile before it dries with a soft brush.

This method of dealing with accidents covers most of the everyday spills that occur in the home.

For special treatment of some more difficult spills and stains, see chart below.

Safety Hints
 
w Plastic coasters prevent furniture stains on carpets.  Please leave them until the carpet is dry.

w Try to avoid stepping over hoses.  You may trip.

w Flat bottomed or sealed based objects may cause damage.  Please leave them off the carpet until it is dry.

w Hard floors are slippery when walking off wet carpet.  Please walk carefully.

w Please keep children and pets away from the van. We carry a lot of chemicals.

w If your lounge has been cleaned, leave cushions off until dry.  Staining may occur.

 

Please Note:

w Remember spots are easiest removed when fresh

w Have your carpet and upholstery professionally cleaned every 6-12 months.

w
DO NOT USE do-it-yourself wet shampooing or dry cleaning methods on carpets. They can leave a residue which actually attracts and holds dirt.

w Ask Wally’s Carpet Cleaning about your specific cleaning requirements.
