How do I clean basic rug stains?

With most basic stains on machine-made rugs, the key is to act quickly.

1. Remove any physical debris from the area. Avoid using a paper towel or a rag at this point so you don't push the debris further into the pile. It's best to use a tool like a fork or a spoon to gently lift the dirt up and away.
2. Dab the area gently with a damp paper towel and treat with a stain-removal solution. We recommend Uni-Cleaner as it safely cleans the toughest stains (such as fruit juice, oil, ketchup, wine, coffee, salsa, etc.) from upholstery, carpet, and other water-safe fabrics.
3. Air dry. If available, using a fan can get the job done quicker!
4. Repeat this process as necessary for stubborn spills.
