If you are the one who is really worry about your carpet, here
is some simple guide for treating stains and maintaining carpets
and upholstery.
1. Always clean up spills quickly to avoid staining. Start by
removing any solid debris. Clean the spill using clean, cold
water and blotting with white paper towels or cloths. Never
scrub or brush the spill as it will damage fibers and possibly
set the stain. Only if this method does not work should you move
on to harsher treatments.
2. Regular vacuuming and spot treatment will improve the quality

furniture.

furniture.

long way in keeping your carpets and upholstery looking as good
as new!
