If an accident occurs, don't freak out. I can get almost anything out, as long as you haven't used the wrong products on it.

It is very frustrating for me to see my valued customers ruin their carpets by using the wrong products on them. You can get many things out yourself, but some stains require special knowledge, products, and equipment. The secret is knowing the difference. For example: if you try to remove Hawaiian Punch with Resolve, you may set the stain so that even I cannot remove it.
Be VERY careful what you use on wool and silk rugs. Anything over an 8 on the PH scale can permanently damage them. BE CAREFUL if using my 'Revenge Spotter' on wool rugs, it may damage them.
