Remember, carpet manufactures recommend having your carpets professionally at least once a year. Twice if you soil them frequently.
Cleaning your carpet too often can hurt your carpet and shorten it’s life-span.
One of the problems that we come across is when homeowners clean their carpet themselves and leave behind a terrible residue in the carpet.

One other item to note, keep in mind before you start spilling things on that stain you may do more damage and end up costing yourself more money than if you just simply called a professional.

REMOVING WAX & CRAYONS:

With a dull knife or the edge of a spoon, scrape away as much of the wax or crayon as possible. Vacuum up the bits of wax that you were able to loosen. This step alone may take several attempts. Next, place a clean absorbent towel over the stain and press with a warm iron. The heat will melt the wax and the absorbent towel will soak up the melted wax. Sponge final traces of the stain with a cleaning fluid. A more effective method if the fabric can withstand the heat is to use a steam iron and, without touching the iron to the carpet, jet hot steam onto the wax, then quickly absorb the melted wax with a clean white towel. If the wax is colored additional steps may need to be taken in order to remove the coloring. Sponge it with alcohol* diluted with two parts of water. Rinse or sponge lightly with water.

COSMETICS

stain removal Many cosmetics can be most successfully removed with products made specifically for their removal, i.e. fingernail polish remover. If such items are not available to you you may try the following: Apply a liquid detergent directly to the stain if the material is washable, or dampen the stain and rub synthetic detergent or soap into it until thick suds are formed. Repeat as many times as necessary. When the outline of the stain is gone, rinse thoroughly. Sometimes it helps to let the fabric dry between treatments. Sponge nonwashable fabrics with cleaning fluid repeatedly until no more color can be removed.

NOTE: Some products like hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, bleach or alcohol can actually bleach or change the color in some fabrics. Read the WARNING notice below and proceed with caution.

PET & URINE STAINS:
Pet stains can change the color of your carpet if allowed to stay very long. Always sponge such stains promptly with cool water. This simple treatment will remove many of them. Or soak them with cool water for 30 minutes or more. Some may need to be soaked overnight. After sponging or soaking, work undiluted liquid detergent into the stain and rinse. If the stain remains, you will have to use a bleach*. Old stains and stains that have been set by heat are in the "difficult-if-not-impossible even by the proffesional !!" category. On nonwashable materials, sponge the stain with cool water or put a sponge over it and squirt cool water through the cloth with a small syringe or medicine dropper.
If this does not remove the stain, work liquid detergent into it and rinse. A final sponging with alcohol* helps to remove the detergent, and the fabric dries faster.
Dilute the alcohol with two parts of water; test colors to see if it is safe for dyes. If the detergent treatment does not remove the stain, you will have to try bleach. For fresher stains, a long soak with detergent suds often does the trick. If a bleach is needed, use a chlorine bleach if the material will stand it, or a color remover. If colors have been changed, sponge the stain with ammonia*. If ammonia does not help, sponge with white vinegar.
