<1> If Animal urine and feces are not removed properly, they will often react with carpet dyes leaving a permanent stain. Urine will soak into the carpet backing and/or pad; after drying, the residue will breed odor-causing bacteria that is very difficult to remove. Professional help is advised.
<2> Use COOL water first on fresh blood to prevent setting the stain. Continue using only water to rid the blood from area.
<3> Candle wax can be removed by covering the affected area with several layers of dry cloth towel(s) and applying a warm iron on top of the towels. The wax will soften and attract to the heat thus becoming absorbed into the clean towel. Change towels often to properly absorb the wax. Do not overheat as some synthetic fibers within carpets have a low melting point. Any remaining residue can be removed with dry cleaning fluid.
<4> Chewing gum can removed by freezing it with ice and cracking it from the affected area. Place several ice cubes in a sealed plastic bag and apply to gum until frozen. After cracking away as much gum as possible, remove any remaining residue with dry cleaning fluid.
<5> Use a detergent solution (one teaspoon neutral detergent such as Dreft, Vel, Trend or Ivory Liquid to one cup water) for water-based paint spills. Use a dry cleaning fluid or the recommended cleaning solution (on the can which came with the product) for oil-based paint spills. Use a dry cleaning fluid on dried paint. If you should plan to contact a professional carpet cleaner for large spills, do your best to prevent the paint from drying by covering the affected area until a professional is able to arrive. Water based paint should be covered with a wet towel and plastic. Oil-based paint may simply be covered with plastic.
