Office Carpet Catastrophes

Office carpets take a lot of punishment and, because of this, are usually designed with durability and stain-resistance in mind. But there are some accidents that office carpets can't defend, and sometimes immediate action is required to prevent permanent consequences. Here are a few tips for potential office carpet catastrophes you might face.

Coffee Spills
Immediately soak up the excess coffee with a towel. Apply soda water to the affected area of the carpet, dry the spot, and repeat the process until you've eliminated the stain completely.

Beer Spills
If your office party gets a little bit out of hand and you spill some beer on the carpet, soak it up with a paper towel and clean the area with warm water.

Ink Stains
Ballpoint pen ink stains should be dried up as soon as possible. Apply methylated spirits to the area, or use another type of stain remover. In the case of a fountain pen, apply soda water to the stain, and apply a mixture of soap flakes to it. After 15 minutes, clean the mixture, and repeat this process until the stain disappears.
