Fast and correct action on carpet stains is the key to preventing permanent damage. The wrong product or technique can spread the stain further. Here are safe solutions for the most common stains.
⏱️ Golden Rule: Act Fast and Gently
The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove. On the first move, do not rub — blot the excess liquid with a clean cloth from the outside inwards. Rubbing pushes the stain deeper into the fibre.

- ✓Mud: Let it dry, vacuum, then damp clean
🚫 What Not to Do with Stains

- ✗Using a heater/hair dryer to speed drying
