Cleaning Treatment
Common Household Food and Beverages
Most common household food and beverages (not
including spillages containing strong dyes or substances
which destroy or change the colour of
carpet) need to be treated solely with warm, not
hot, water immediately. Repeat the above treatment
until no stain is evident on the cloth or towels
used to press dry the area. If you have a wool
carpet and the stain is still visible, use a clean white
cloth or sponge and treat the area with a mixture
of 1 teaspoon of approved wool laundry detergent
and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar in 1 litre of warm
water. Rinse with warm water. If the stain is still visible,
call a professional carpet cleaner immediately.
If you have a synthetic carpet and the stain is still
visible, use a clean white cloth or sponge and treat
the area with a mixture of 1 teaspoon of mild laundry
detergent in 1 litre of warm water. Rinse with
warm water. If the stain is still visible, call a professional
carpet cleaner immediately.
Other Substances
It is important to identify the source of the stain
to ensure that you use the appropriate method of
removal. Set out on page 11 are some general recommendations
for removal of common substances.
Supermarket cleaning products are not recommended.
Removal of stains cannot be guaranteed.
No responsibility is accepted by Godfrey Hirst for
claims arising from any proposed treatments.
If stains fail to respond to treatment, call a
professional carpet cleaner immediately.
