* First Request a Free Bottle of our Spot Out carpet spot remover.

- Use a clean white towel to blot any excess fruit punch liquids up. Gently remove any solids with a spoon.

-Always test any carpet spot remover in an unseen area for color fastness or potential damage to carpet.

-Solution mix- use ¼ teaspoon of dishwashing detergent and mix with 1 cup of warm water. Rinsing is always necessary to remove any residue which can cause re-soiling in the carpet.

-Start with dabbing a small amount of solution on a white clean cloth and gently blot the fruit punch spill area. Start from outer areas and work towards the middle. DO NOT RUB or SCRUB. Allow solution to sit for a couple minutes before starting.

-Warm Water – Lukewarm tap water should be used in most cases to rinse the cleaning solutions from the fiber. Failure to completely rinse the solutions from the fiber may cause accelerated soiling.

-After the fruit punch spill is removed rinse with warm water and blot with dry towel or cloth.

-Always pat the area dry when completed and never rub. Also place a dry towel over the area and a plastic garbage can on top to apply pressure. Leave for several hours to soak up.

*** Never use laundry detergent on carpet, these products can brighten up the fibers. Never use automatic dishwashing detergent also, most contain bleach which cause permanent damage

-When using a spot cleaner from a store, always rinse thoroughly with warm water. A spray bottle set at mist setting is always best to avoid over wetting the area. Never use more detergent then directions, too much detergent can cause rapid re-soiling.

Quickly Remove Cranberry Juice From Carpet

Don’t delay, waiting may cause the cranberry juice to become a permanent stain. Blot juce with a dry, white absorbent cloth or white paper towels. Gently scrape up semi-solids with a rounded spoon. Break up solids and vacuum.

∙ Pretest any spot removal cleaner (for color transfer to the cloth or damage to the carpet) in an out of the way  area

Detergent Solution – Mix one fourth (1/4) teaspoon of a clear liquid dishwashing detergent per one (1) cup of lukewarm water. NEVER USE A STRONGER CONCENTRATION! Thorough rinsing is necessary to remove detergent residues that may cause rapid soiling. It may be necessary to rinse with warm water several times to completely remove residues.

 Apply a small amount of the spot cleaner to a white cloth, and work in gently – do not rub — working from the edges of the spill to the center to prevent spreading. Allow to remain on the spill a few minutes. Be patient. Blot.

Warm Water – Lukewarm tap water should be used in most cases to rinse the cleaning solutions from the fiber. Failure to completely rinse the solutions from the fiber may cause accelerated soiling.

When the spill is completely removed, rinse the area with warm water; blot with a dry cloth until all moisture is removed.

 ****  Never use a laundry detergent of any type, because laundry detergents may contain optical brighteners  that dye the carpet. Do not select an automatic dishwashing detergent because many contain bleaching agents that destroy  carpet fibers.

If Cranberry Juice Remains 

Vinegar Solution – Mix one (1) cup of white vinegar per two (2) cups of water. White vinegar is a 5% acetic acid solution. It is used most often to lower the alkalinity caused by detergent solutions or alkaline spills.

Apply solution , rinse with water and dry as outlined above

 

Many retail spot removal detergents leave residues in the carpet that may attract soil. Thoroughly rinse the area several times with lukewarm tap water. A mist type sprayer is recommended to prevent overwetting. Blot with paper towels and pat dry after each rinse. Several rinses are often necessary to thoroughly remove residues. Never use any of the solutions in concentrations stronger than those recommended.
