Carpet
- Have carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year: A professional cleaner has the equipment and expertise to fully remove dirt and detergent from your carpet. More importantly, they can remove most of the moisture in your carpet, something that most rental units don't do.
Upholstery
- Cleaning spills: Spills left unattended may set as stains. Blot when spills occur, never rub!
Spot Removal Techniques
- If liquid, blot up as much as possible with a clean cloth.
