Keeping your home decor pristine and inviting is a top priority at Lavender Fields, and we understand that accidents happen. That's why we've crafted an expert guide to spot cleaning that will help you maintain the beauty of your bedding, pillows, blankets, and rugs. From common spills like food and wine to more stubborn stains like blood, pet accidents, and adhesives, our tips ensure your home remains a haven of comfort and style.


How to Clean Food and Wine Stains:

Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth to absorb excess liquid.

Mix a mild detergent with water and dab the stain, working from the outside in.

Rinse with cold water and let it air dry.

How to Clean Blood and Protein Stains:

Act quickly by blotting with a cold, damp cloth.

Create a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Rinse with cold water and pat dry.

Make sure not to add any heat - heat sets protein stains. 

How to Clean Pet Stains

Blot the stain with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

Mix white vinegar with water and apply it to the stain, then blot with a clean cloth.

Sprinkle baking soda on the area, let it sit, and vacuum it up once dry.

How to Clean Adhesives:

Scrape off excess adhesive gently with a dull knife or spoon.

Apply a mixture of dish soap and warm water to the remaining adhesive, blot, and rinse.

How to Clean General Stains: 

Check care labels and follow recommended cleaning instructions.

Blot the stain with a mixture of water and mild detergent, working in a circular motion.

How to Spot Clean Rugs: 

Food and Wine Stains:

Blot the stain with a clean cloth to absorb excess liquid.

Mix a solution of white vinegar, water, and mild detergent, and apply it to the stain.

Blot and rinse with cold water.

Pet Stains:

Blot the stain to remove excess moisture.

Create a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda, apply it to the stain, and let it sit.
