How to Treat Water Based Stains On Carpet Tile

For liquid spills, blot up as much of the liquid as possible with a clean, white cloth. If the spill is semi-solid or has hardened, gently scrape it with a spoon or spatula and then blot the spot with a damp sponge.

Always work the outer edge of the spot towards the centre. Never rub across a wet spill in a manner that causes the stain or contamination to be spread from the original area.

After blotting water-based spots, promptly remove the remaining residue with a small amount of dry compound. Sprinkle the compound over the spot and use a hand brush to gently agitate the compound.

Allow the area to dry (about 15-30 minutes) and then brush the compound again. If the compound seems to stick to the carpet, gently brush the area again, and then vacuum. Repeat the application if necessary. Avoid aggressive brushing as this may damage the pile.

For difficult to remove coffee, tea, juice or soft drink stains, use a recommended stain remover after spot cleaning. Apply according to the instructions and leave to dry. Repeat if necessary. Contact your local technical team for more information on recommended stain removers.

Note: Some stain removers must not be used on products which contain wool or which are susceptible to bleaching
