Blot immediately โ€” never rub. The first 60 seconds matter most.

Fresh Spills

Blot liquid, then use warm water + dish soap + white vinegar on a cloth. Blot from outside in. Rinse with plain water on a clean cloth and blot dry.

Set-In Stains

Use an enzyme upholstery cleaner. Dwell 10โ€“15 minutes, light agitation, blot out, repeat if needed.

Carpet Padding

Press-and-lift with towels after cleaning solution, or use professional hot water extraction if the spill soaked through.

Leather

Wipe fresh spills quickly; use pH-balanced leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid household cleaners and alcohol.

Dairy in Coffee

Use enzyme cleaner to address proteins and prevent sour odor.
