How to prevent and remove stains in your carpets …

Use ChemDry Home Care products for treating stains or call your illawarra ChemDry carpet cleaner - image

  1. Clean spills on your carpet or upholstery immediately to prevent hard to remove stains.
  2. Use cold water on spills when rinsing unless told otherwise.
  3. Blot the stain – do not scrub or rub!
  4. Soak up excess water with a clean white towel or paper towel.
  5. Do NOT use any products containing BLEACH. Several supermarket stain removers have bleach in them.
  6. Keep the area damp until ChemDry can get there to remove the stain if you cannot remove the spill or stain yourself. You can do this by lightly wetting the stain and putting a towel, kept damp, over the top of the stain.
  7. Spills that are left to dry and left for a long time will become harder to remove.
  8. Book ChemDry to come and remove any stains on your carpet or upholstery if you are not sure how to remove it yourself.
  9. Get professional help from your ChemDry technician if ugly residues are left after you have tried to remove stains in your carpet yourself.
  10. Read directions for use first when using ‘ChemDry Spot Remover’ ‘ChemDry Grease & Oil Remover’ and ‘Pet Odour Remover’.

Note: ‘Cleaning Solution’ can be mixed with roughly 1 teaspoon of detergent to 1 litre of water.
