   This is only a guide to help you remove stains! Alec's Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning is not responsible or liable for stains that you can't remove or have made worse by treating them with different cleaners! Some stains are permanent. Contact a professional carpet & upholstery cleaning company for further advice for any difficult stains! Spills and stains should be treated immediately. The longer a spot remains, the more difficult it will be to remove. Blot up spills with clean, white, absorbent materials (towels, napkins, tissues, etc.) Keep blotting, and repeat, and repeat. Remove solid built-up materials with a rounded tablespoon, spatula, or edge of a dull knife. PRETEST SPOT-REMOVAL AGENTS in an inconspicuous area (under a sofa cushion, on an area of carpet under or behind a piece of furniture). Apply several drops of solution on the article and blot with a clean white towel. If color transfers to the cloth or a color change occurs, a professional cleaner should be consulted. Apply the solution again, wait 1/2 - 1 hour, if possible, and inspect for any damaging color changes. Do not over wet. Use small amounts of the cleaning agents and blot frequently. Always blot, do not rub or brush. Work from the outer edge of the spot towards the center to prevent rings. Beginning with step 1, treat the stained area with each spotting solution until the stain is removed. It may not be necessary to complete the entire series of steps. The final step is always to rinse carefully the area with water, then absorb all the remaining moisture with absorbent towels. Be patient. Some stains respond slowly. All spots and stains cannot be removed from every fabric due to differences in fibers, dyes, constructions, finishes, composition of the stain, length of time the stain has remained on the article, etc. Some stains require professional treatment.
