SPILLS AND SPOTS

WHAT TO DO

The secret tof removing most stains is to act quickly.

Follow the manufacture's instructions carefully. Keep labels from upholstery and carpets for future reference.

First try to classify the stain.
If you are not sure how to treat the stain or are uncertain of the fibre content of the article call in a professional,  with  qualifications from the Australian Carpet Cleaning Institute, http://www.theacci.com.au/.

What you decide to do about the spill depends on - your experience with that sort of stain, your knowledge of the fabric, what you have in hand to treat it, the extent of the stain.
Above all the value of the article you are tackling. Is it worth the risk??

Even the intrepid should hesitate before tackling upholstery and carpets. The behaviour of fabrics in these circumstances is quite different, they also have backing materials, and may have been treated with a protection agent.
