Spills and stains are a common occurrence. No reason to panic.
RULE No 1: Do not pour liquids on a stain.
Pasty stains: (bowel, vomit, food drops) fresh or dried up: first, remove excess with the dull edge of a knife, or a spatula. From a damp Sponge, or cloth, dab a little water (*) into the stain. Follow, dabbing the affected area with a dry terry cloth. Repeat until transfer stops to towel. Change to dry, clean, area of towel frequently. If rubbing is necessary,use light pressure. Stop before rug pile frays; this is permanent damage.
Liquid spills: (drinks, urine milk, etc.)
Step1:
Dab affected area with absorbent material (cotton towel, several layers of paper towel, or equivalent). Repeat until transfer stops. On carpet: place dry towel on stain, then, step on it for increased pressure to force stain to the surface. Repeat, changing to dry area placed on stain.
Step2:
Water based spills: Moisten clean terry towel or utility sponge with water(*) and dab some moisture on a ca. 2"x2" area of the stain, starting at the outer edge. The dab the just moistened area with a dry (paper) towel. Repeat until no more stain transfer occurs. Proceed to the next portion of same size; continue until the entire spill area has been treated. If stain contains solids or insolubles, call 203 227 8618 for professional help.
