- Make your spot remover in a pinch by mixing 1/4-teaspoon1/4 teaspoon liquid detergent (without bleach) and 1 cup of cold water.
- Over time, the protection on stain-resistant carpet wears down. For optimum performance, have a protector regularly applied after cleaning.

- Before using any spot-removing product, test for colour fastness in an inconspicuous area.
- Test area rugs for colour fastness before placing them over the carpet since some rugs may bleed.
- Vacuum under area rugs periodically to remove loose dirt that may have filtered through the rugs to your carpet.
- After a professional cleaning, leave the protective blocks until the carpet is completely dry (about two days) to avoid colour transfer between furniture and flooring.
- Your furniture collects everyday dirt and soil, just like your carpet. For convenience, have both professionally cleaned at the same time.
