First, don't panic, spot removal is an art not an exact science but there are some general do's and don'ts we will cover here.  If you are short on either patience or self confidence you may  want to bring in a professional cleaner no matter what type of spot we are considering.

Here's what you can do to improve your chance of success with any type of fresh spot:

• DO scrape up as much solid matter as you can (working from the edge of the spill towards the center so as not to spread the soiling).
• DO blot up as much moisture as possible with a white towel (do not rub as this will also spread the stain).
• DO try and identify the cause of the spot so you can apply the best technique possible.
• DON'T work on the spot with hot water as this may leave you with a permanent stain.
• DON'T use cleaners or solutions that are very low or high on the pH scale; that is either highly acidic or alkaline ( I bet you wish you had paid more attention in chemistry class now).  These products may set the stain or cause die loss from your carpet or fabric.  If you're not sure whether a cleaning solution is near pH neutral play it safe and don't use it.  The WINSOL products we discuss below will not set stains.

OIL BASED SPOTS INCLUDE:
Grease, Oil, Butter, Tar, Peanut Butter, Gravy, Mayonnaise, Etc.

Blot up excess liquids with a clean white towel or paper towels.  Scrape up excess solids.  Use our enzyme digester TRIO Plus which will break down the complex  compounds and then digest them doing most of your cleaning for you.  After applying the TRIO cover with plastic or a damp towel so that it dries slowly.  This will give the bacteria and enzymes time to work.  Repeat as needed to remove spots and odors.  If any spots remain you may blot them out with a solution of our APC 100 or S 200 in water.

PROTEIN BASED STAINS INCLUDE:
Blood, Milk, Grass, Urine, Vomit, Feces, Egg, Ice Cream, Chocolate, Etc.

Use the same technique and products as above. Be especially careful with blood stains to never use hot water.
 

WATER BASED STAINS INCLUDE:
Food Spots, Juice, Soda, Fruits, Jelly, Ketchup, Mustard, Wine, Alchohol, Etc.

Use the same technique and products listed above.

COFFEE AND TEA SPILLS:

Use WINSOL COFFEE AND TEA STAIN REMOVER. Just wet and work in the product and allow it to oxidze most stains with out any work.  If needed blot and remove any remaining spill with APC 100 or S200 mixed in warm water.

DIFFICULT SPOTS:
If you find yourself with paint, glue, ink, gum or other difficult stains that often require solvents you are unwilling to bring into your home, try WINSOL CITRUS SPOTTER.  Made with up to ten times the concentration of all natural citrus solvent then most leading brands.  A truly non-hazardous agent for not water based spills and accidents.

Wet small areas of the affected carpet and press with a white cotton towel or paper towels allowing the stain to wick into the towel.  Repeat until the spot is gone or no further color is removed.  Blot with water dampened towel to remove any remaining spotter.
