Oil-based stains: Blot as much as possible with white paper towels. Apply the special oil and grease spot remover to a paper towel and repeat blotting. (protective gloves should be worn, as the solvent will quickly remove oils from the skin and could result in irritation.) Do not pour or spray directly on the carpet pile, as damage to the backing or adhesive underneath could result; use the towels to transport the solvent to the carpet. Repeat as often as necessary.
Spot remover specifically for grease, oil, or tar, such as Carbona
1/4 tea-spoon dish detergent
mixed with
1 quart of water
mix at time of cleaning.
A clear, non-bleach liquid dishwashing detergent such as Dawn, Joy, or clear Ivory is recommended.
Do not use detergents that are cloudy or creamy, because they may leave a sticky residue.
Prompt attention to spots and spills is essential. No carpet is stain proof, although many are stain resistant, which allows a little time to act.
Remember: Always blot, never rub or scrub, as a fuzzy area in your carpet may result. When blotting, work from the outer edge in toward the center of the spot to avoid spreading the spill.
