Tool: scissors, white latex glue
How: if the stain is tiny and on the surface of carpet, just cut it, make sure only cut the top of fiber, otherwise the cutting will leave a dimple on the carpet.
If the spot is very deep, cut all the fiber there, get clean fiber from the corner of same carpet.
Squeeze a drop of glue on the bottom of carpet, plant the clean fiber there.

Vacuum your carpet thoroughly and then spray misty water onto your carpet. Move the push broom back and forth until you see the hair begin to clump up. Pick up the hair from the broom and collect it in the plasti bag and then repeat entire process as often as needed. This works great on Upholstery as well, try using a small hand held brush for best results. These methods are easy to manage, clean and safe.
As I like to tell our customers “you want to stone protect/proof” your home. One of the first things to do is place non-slip mats or area rugs at entrances of frequently used doors to remove loose sand or dirt from shoes. Dust mopping or flat mopping is a great way to prevent or slow down the deterioration of your stone ‘s finish that everyday foot traffic causes.
The best product that we have come across to use on a daily basis or weekly is Revitilizer from Stonetech, you can order it “ready to use”, it cleans and re-protects your floor with every use.
You can expect yearly cleanings for the best results. One of the things that works very well with our customers is a yearly maintenance program where we provide a deep cleaning of the stone so that the stone surface remains radiant. When it comes to daily spills the best thing you can do is wipe them up immediately using revitilizer cleaner. Use coasters whenever possible for drinks. Recently we had a customer that purchased a home where there was several young children who LOVED orange juice, that had gotten spilled everywhere. Because of the acid in orange juice it etched her travertine floor throughout her house. To fix it we needed to hone the entire floor, which for any size home entails alot of work.
