How to Handle a Spill

You should take action as quickly as possible. Follow these essential care and maintenance tips.

Don’t scrape; just blot. Blot up as much of the liquid as you can using a fresh white cloth.

Steer clear of store-bought cleaners. A lot of them contain strong chemicals that bleach the fiber or set the stain.

Don’t let the area become wet. If it becomes trapped, too much moisture might cause mold growth or spread the stain.

Different Materials React Differently to Coffee and Wine Spills

Different materials behave differently when it comes to spills. Every type of fiber has a unique rate of absorption, stain resistance, and cleaning sensitivity. Knowing this is essential to getting rid of stains without breaking anything.

1. Wool Carpets and Upholstery

Since wool is a natural fiber, it absorbs liquids quickly, especially warm ones like wine and coffee.
The fiber can be broken down or discolored by powerful cleansers because it is protein-based.
Wool needs to be cleaned on-site with lower moisture, since too much moisture might cause it to shrink or distort. There is also the added risk of the dyes bleeding into adjacent colors.

2. Nylon Carpets

Since nylon is a sturdy synthetic material and somewhat water-repellent, you have a little window of opportunity to dab spills before they become soaked in.
However, after being absorbed, wine and coffee may form a bind with the nylon’s dye sites, leaving behind purple or yellow stains.
A stain protector may be applied at the manufacturer to certain nylon carpets, but it eventually fades off, particularly in high-traffic areas.

3. Polyester Carpets

More resistant to stains, yet it draws oils
Coffee and wine may not seep through as quickly because polyester naturally repels water-based spills better than nylon.
But because it is lipophilic, it draws and retains greasy materials, such as coffee cream.
Additionally, a stain concealed in the carpet backing may rise to the surface after cleaning due to the wicking tendency of polyester fibers.

4. Cotton Upholstery

Wine or coffee can spread deeply and broadly, because cotton absorbs liquid quickly.
Without prompt treatment, stains might become permanent once they are inside the fibers.
Additionally, cotton is sensitive to overwetting since it browns readily when exposed to excessive water.

5. Microfiber Upholstery (Polyester-based)

The densely woven polyester used to make microfiber is slow to absorb spills and resistant to water-based stains.
But with time, stains may return because of the tight weave’s ability to trap residues beneath the surface.
If not dried evenly, do-it-yourself scrubbing may leave water rings or mat the fibers.

Kathy in Rochester

I had such a great experience with Pinnacle Eco Clean. I had exterior paint spill on my brand new custom area rug. I called Pinnacle in a panic and they came out within 45 minutes, grabbed my area rug, took it back to their shop and cleaned it all within 6 hours. I can’t thank them enough for being so understanding and caring during my panic filled phone call. Their service is amazing!
