Carpets are subjected to a
wide variety of soils depending on the where
the carpet is located. Public areas are more
frequently marred by chewing gum, candy, grease
and oil spots, cigarette burns, food and beverage
spills. These soils if left will become very
difficult to remove.
There is a lot of difference
between a spot and a stain. A spot
is a soluble substance that can be easily removed
by a normal cleaning process. A stain
is a substance that has dyed or altered a fabric
or carpet fiber and may not be removed by a
normal cleaning process. A stain that is lighter
than the fabric or fiber will be very difficult
if not impossible to remove due to dye loss.
Prompt action along with the
proper removal chemicals and following correct
procedures can keep spots under control. Always
test the fiber in an inconspicuous area first
before using the spot removal chemical. Always
follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
