Move the towel as needed.
Caution: This procedure can damage the carpet if not done very cautiously


Carpet Protector
helps keep dirt from adhering to carpet fibers to make vacuuming more efficient. Reduces absorption of liquid spills to help prevent stains. Carpet stays cleaner longer to extend carpet life. Carpet protector also helps solve your static electricity problems, or call or email us for other anti-static solutions.

INTERMEDIATE UPHOLSTERY SPOT / CLEANING TIPS

For liquid spills
Blot lightly with a dry paper towel to start. Increase pressure and use a fresh paper towel until no more liquid is absorbed. DO NOT RUB! If residue remains, see the stain removal guide below

For solid or semi-solid spills
(such as foods)

Gently lift the substance from the upholstery with a spoon or dull knife, scraping carefully toward the center of the spill. Treat any wet residue as a liquid spill. If residue remains, see the stain removal guide below.
For dry spills
(such as ashes or dry cosmetics)
Adding any liquid to a normally dry substance, such as ashes, may cause a permanent stain. Vacuum, beat the area with a ruler or similar implement, vacuum again, then use the adhesive side of masking tape to remove any residue
HELPFUL LABEL DEFINITIONS & KEEPING IT NEW TIPS
W
Use water-based cleaning agent
S
Use mild (water-free) cleaning solvent
WS
Use water-based cleaning agent, or use mild (water-free) cleaning solvent
X
Clean ONLY by vacuuming or light brushing
FADING
• To avoid fading, keep upholstered home furniture away from direct sunlight
Vacuuming
• Vacuum upholstered furniture as often as possible. Even if your home furniture has seen little use, the abrasive action of dirt and dust particles can wear the fibers of your upholstery fabric. For high-use furniture, it's a good idea to frequently beat the cushions and then vacuum and rotate them.
Damp-Dusting
arms and headrest areas with a cleaning solution to prevent body oil accumulation on the upholstery fabric (be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendation as to the type of upholstery cleaning solution to use)
Ink
• Avoid placing newspapers directly on home furniture upholstery fabric, since ink will accumulate and is difficult to remove
Coverings
(slip / sheets)
• Never cover your upholstered home furniture with dark-colored blankets, sheets, etc., because the dyes can rub off onto fabric when dry or bleed when wet
Washing
• Never remove cushion covers for dry cleaning or machine washing, even though they have zippers
Avoid Use
of dyes, paints, inks, nail polishes, and Mercurochrome around your upholstery fabric, since these substances alter color and will stain.
Professional Cleaning
Will keep soil accumulation from marring the beauty of the upholstery of your home living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture
NOTES:
TEST FIRST
Always test water or a cleaning agent by applying to the same upholstery fabric on a hidden area of the upholstered piece. Allow to dry completely prior to checking its effect on the fabric
Apply to hidden area
Apply water or a cleaning agent (as recommended in the stain removal guide) in small doses to avoid spreading the stain or causing a ring. Be patient; apply several times, blotting firmly with a dry paper towel to soak up the liquid after each application
RUBBING
Never rub a fabric; rubbing could result in damage to the nap, loss of color, or spreading of the stain
USE A HAIRDRYER
To avoid water spotting, use a fan or cool blow dryer (on a cool setting) to accelerate drying. Dry from the outer edge toward the center.
VELVET
Restore the nap on velvet by brushing gently before it dries.
