auto carpet cleaning
Continued from Page 1

For stubborn stains, use a soft-bristled brush to agitate deep down into the carpet's fibers, using circular, overlapping motions. Finally, blot/buff the moist area with another clean terry cloth towel. (Some cleaners' instructions recommend using a hand-sized towel for this step.)


Although most spray-on cleaners leave no residue, vacuum again once the carpet is completely dry for best results. Finally, some spotters also contain a protector, but applying a stand-alone protector to the newly cleaned carpet will help future stains come out even easier.

Vacuuming is a vital part of carpet cleaning. Read the instructions on the spray-on spot remover to see if the stain should be pre-treated before vacuuming.

Wipe a clean terry-cloth towel across the stain, turning it as necessary to draw the spot out of the carpet fibers. Use a soft-bristled brush for more stubborn spots, and then blot dry with a clean towel as directed.
