SPILLS AND STAINS

Act quickly. Deal with the stain as soon as it happens.

Follow manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Keep labels from upholstery and carpet for future reference.
First try to classify the stain. There are basically tree types - greasy, non-greasy or combination.
If you are not sure how to treat a stain, call in a professional, a technician trained at the  Australian Carpet cleaning Institute http://www.theacci.com.au/ .

What you decide to do about the spill depends on, your experience, your knowledge, what you have in hand to treat it with, the extent of the stain.
Above all what you do depends on the value of the article.
Even the intrepid should hesitate before tackling upholstery and carpets.
The behaviour of fabrics in these circumstances is quite different from other materials. The carpets also have the backing material and may have protection treatments.

These may all cause problems to the untrained. Call Lorna, http://www.ladybirdcarpetcare.com.au/

  1. Hey Lorna! I'm now following Outpatch, but when I clicked on follow, it came up "Outpatch with a URL http://According to Scriptures.blogspot.com, so you are using According to scriptures "blog address". That's why it keeps coming up that way on my dashboard. Needless to say, I don't know what happened to "According to Scriptures. Anyway, I thought I would let you know.

    God Bless!
