“Have you ever tried cleaning a spot on your carpet or rug only to make it worse?”
Using the wrong product or the wrong technique can actually damage your carpet or rug. Follow these simple instructions for best results. Please keep in mind that some spots require professional care.
Be careful what you use on your oriental rugs to remove spots! Many cleaning products will damage your rugs by causing them to brown, discolor/bleach, colors to bleed, etc. If you are unsure if a cleaning product is unsafe for your rug, then it is best not to use it. If you must get that spot out and you don’t have the patience to wait for a professional, I recommend using just a few drops of dove detergent to a cup of water. Just enough to make the water a little soapy. (do not attempt on silk! call Guaranteed Carpet & Tile Care at 923-2498). Blot up any liquid or gently scrape up any solid that is on the rug. Then dip a cloth into your cleaning mixture and gently blot the spot. If you are getting dye transfer to the cloth you are using, stop immediately. DO NOT GET OUT A WIRE BRUSH AND SCRUB THE RUG AS HARD AS YOU CAN! Aggressive spot removal will permanently damage the fibers trading one problem for another.
If the spot does not come out or are unsure of what you are doing, call Guaranteed Carpet & Tile Care at 923-2498. Cleaning a valuable rug when you don’t know what you are doing can and probably will result in a costly mistake!
