The Golden Rule: Act Fast
The sooner you treat a stain, the easier it is to remove. Blot liquids immediately with a clean, white cloth. Never rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers.
Common Stains and Solutions
1. Red Wine
Blot up as much wine as possible. Mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of dish soap, and 2 cups of warm water. Sponge the stain with the solution and blot until the stain disappears.
2. Coffee
Blot the spill. Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and 2 cups of warm water. Apply to the stain and blot with a clean cloth.
3. Pet Accidents
Clean up the mess. Use an enzymatic cleaner specifically designed for pet stains to break down the proteins and eliminate odors. Follow the product instructions carefully.
