Step 2 · Test Cleaning Solution

Before applying any cleaning solution to the main stain, apply a small amount to a hidden area of the carpet (e.g., inside a closet or under a piece of furniture). Let it sit for a few minutes, then blot it up. Check the tested area for any adverse reactions like fading or color change. This ensures the cleaner is safe for your specific carpet type.
