Remember to blot the spill with a towel instead of rubbing it. Rubbing will cause your spills to soak deeper into carpet fibres, which makes them more difficult and expensive to clean up later on! Try water first if you are able to.

It is easy and inexpensive but may not work depending on how much liquid was spilled. If that doesn’t do the trick then use dish detergent sparingly – one thing about this method is that it can be tricky because there isn’t any “cut off” point where dish soap works without being diluted with other things like vinegar or baking soda so make sure you’re using just enough before trying anything else.

Finally, contact professional cleaners when all else fails as they should have access to products better suited for deep cleaning carpets.
