Tips for Caring for Your Carpet & Upholstery

Let’s face it, spills happen! It’s a part of life. Below are tips from our team at UpRight Construction & Restoration Services on what to do if a spill should happen on your carpet or upholstery.

Don’t freak out!

Generally most spills on your carpet or upholstery can be cleaned without any damage to the fibers. Fibers are often damaged when someone overreacts and doesn’t think before they take action. If a spill happens, there is a chance that a stain will be left behind, but cleaning it properly can help minimize it.

When dealing with a wet spill, keep a few things in mind:

• Deal with the spill as soon as possible
• Dab the spill with a clean white cloth moistened with water, never rub it around
• As you dab, work from the edge of the spill to the center
• If the stain does not clean, it is best to call a professional

When dealing with a dry spill, keep these tips in mind:

• Slowly and carefully scoop up the excess spilled substance
• Use a dry vacuum to clean the area and pick up any leftover substance
• Dab the spill with a clean white cloth moistened with water, never rub it around
