Localized stains caused by accidental spillage may be one of three types:
0 Water based stainscaused byfoodstuffs,starches, sugars, soft drinks,fruit stains, washable inketc. These stains
adhere readily to the pile and do not respond to vacuum cleaning. They are best removed immediately using
the procedure detailed below.
0 Oil /grease based stains caused by spillage or other contamination by butter, grease, hand cream, ball point pen
ink, crayon, lipstick etc.
0 A combination of both these types.
Spot Cleaning - Localized Stains
To remove water based stains:
. Blot up liquids and /or scrape off semi-solids using a spatula.
. Sponge the affected area with clean luke-warm water. Use a clean, damp, undyed, cotton cloth to absorb as much
. If the stain persists, apply a suitable carpet shampoo solution made up to the manufacturers instructions, again work-
= Rinse with clean, warm water, taking care not to over-wet the carpet.
Absorb excess moisture by laying dry, undyed cloths or white paper towels over the moist carpet under light pres-
. When the carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum clean the area to lift the carpet pile.
CAUTION: When liquids are applied to the pile, use only a clean cloth or sponge. Do not apply liquids directly to the
carpet - when attempting to remove stains, blot the pile as heavy rubbing can destroy the yarn structure of the carpet.

ing from the edge to the centre of the stain.
sure; replace when necessary.
To remove oil /grease based stains:
. Using a suitable aerosol containing solvent loaded with absorbent powder, spray the affected areas of the carpet.
= Allow the solvent to evaporate and remove the powder containing the grease by using a vacuum cleaner or brush.
m:
CAUTION: Solvents must only be used in well-ventilated areas where naked lights and smoking are prohibited.
The solvent loosens the grease from the fibre and the powder then absorbs the grease-carrying solvent.
Neat solvent, eg dry cleaning
fluid, may be used, but should be used sparingly from a clean white cloth.
To remove stains which are a combination of oil and water based contamination (usually resulting from food or drink):
. Treat combination stains as for water based stains.
. Allow to dry out.
. Treat as for grease based stains.

13.7.6 Repair of Damaged Carpet
The most common cause of accidental damage to carpets is cigarette burns (especially to polypropylene carpet).
These can be repaired easily on new carpets by cutting out the face material in the affected area and replacing with new face material with a latex locking coat of approximately 100g/m2 dry then incorporating a P.S.A.B. (pressure sensi- tive adhesive backing) which would be applied to roll carpet in the form of a laminate film at Firth Furnishings subsidi- ary Textile Bonding, Higham Ferrers, Northampton, UK.
The
film has a peelable release paper, which means that the new material would simply be cut to size, the release paper
removed and then the new carpet pressed into position.
The problem
in replacing areas in old or soiled carpets is that the replacement of damaged areas with new carpet would
create a visual difference, ie un-worn pile, clean appearance, which would then cause the repaired area to stand out
from the rest of the carpet. The only answer would be to abrade the rest of the new carpet to the same degree as the
old carpet.
