Cleaning Instruction Guide

Cleaning Instruction Guide

The kids...the dog...a clumsy party guest. Accidents happen. In fact, removal of spots and spills is one of the most crucial areas of oriental carpet maintenance. When anything is dropped or spilled, quick response with the proper cleaning material can save the day...and your oriental carpet!
When accidents happen:

  • Blot up liquids with white paper towels or absorbent cloth;
    scoop up solids with the end of a knife or spoon.

  • Treat the spot according to the cleaning instruction chart below.

  • Apply spot removal agent to clean towel or cloth, not directly to the spot. Use small quantities at a time. Always work inwards from the edge to prevent spreading. Do not rub, as this may cause the spot to spread or distort the pile. Do not over-wet the carpet pile.

  • Afterwards, blot as dry as possible with clean towel.
