Act quickly following a spill to keep a permanent stain from setting into your rug.
LIQUID SPILLS
Use a clean cloth and press firmly to absorb as much liquid as possible. Do not rub! This can set the stain
deeper into the rug, making it harder to remove and increasing the chances that the stain will re-appear.
STAINS
Make a solution of water, white vinegar and mild detergent. Apply the foam that rises to the top of the
solution on the stained area with a clean cloth. Finish using a damp, clean cloth to absorb any residue.
 For lighter stains or spills on synthetic yarns, sponge clean the area with cold water and mild
detergent.
 For harder to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
 For pet stains, make sure you have absorbed all remain- ing liquid with a dry paper towel.
 Then, sprinkle baking soda over the affected area. After about five minutes, spray a solution mix
on the affected area. Gently scrub and let sit. Vacuum up the remaining powder.
