How to Clean Food and Drink Spills on Carpet: The Ultimate Rescue Guide!

Let’s be real—life happens, and sometimes that means your carpet becomes the unfortunate victim of a food or drink spill. Whether it’s a rogue glass of red wine, a glob of spaghetti sauce, or a sticky soda mishap, don’t panic! With the right steps, you can save your carpet and avoid a permanent stain. Here’s your fun, step-by-step guide to tackling spills like a pro!

Step 1: Act Fast—Don’t Let the Spill Settle!
Time is your best friend when it comes to spills. The quicker you act, the better your chances of saving your carpet.

- Pick it up: Use a spoon or your hands (if it’s not too messy) to scoop up the spill. Avoid using a towel right away—smearing the spill will only make it worse. Trust me, you don’t want to turn a small spill into a carpet-sized disaster!

Step 2: Rinse and Blot—The Dynamic Duo
Once you’ve removed the bulk of the spill, it’s time to tackle the residue.

- Rinse it out: Grab a spray bottle (a spritzer works great!) and lightly spray water onto the stained area. Don’t go overboard—too much water can seep into the padding underneath, leading to slow drying and even mold. Yuck!
- Blot it up: Use a paper towel or a microfiber towel to blot the area. Press straight down (no rubbing!) and hold for a few seconds. Lift the towel, and you’ll see the stain transferring onto it. Repeat until the stain stops transferring.

Step 3: Bring in the Big Guns—Proxi Spray
Water is great, but sometimes you need a little extra firepower to completely eliminate the stain.

- Apply Proxi Spray: This professional-grade spotter is your secret weapon. Spray it onto the stain and blot again with a clean towel. You’ll notice the stain lifting away like magic!
- Why rinse matters: Even if the product says “no rinse,” always rinse with water afterward. Leftover residue can attract dirt, making the stain reappear weeks later. Nobody wants a sneaky stain comeback!

Step 4: Let It Dry and Vacuum
Once you’ve treated the stain, let the area dry completely. Then, vacuum it up to restore your carpet’s fresh, clean look.

Why Proxi Spray is a Game-Changer
Over-the-counter products from Amazon or your local store might promise the world, but they often fall short. Proxi Spray is a professional-grade solution that actually works. It’s stronger, more effective, and designed to keep stains from reappearing.
