Blot gently with a clean absorbent cloth rather than rubbing. Avoid experimenting with unsuitable products, especially on delicate or unknown carpet fibres.
Entrance mats and sensible footwear habits can help limit dirt tracked through carpeted spaces.
If a mark will not shift or you are unsure about your carpet type, describe the issue and seek appropriate advice rather than risking damage.
Always follow your carpet manufacturer’s instructions. Some fibres and stains need specialist assessment; home remedies can sometimes make marks worse.

Rather than rubbing a spill into the fibres, gently blot with a clean absorbent cloth. Avoid harsh products or mixing chemicals — particularly if you don't know the carpet material. If the spill is significant, persistent or unusual, seek suitable advice.
Furniture can alter how a carpet wears over time. Where practical, be mindful of repeated foot traffic and protect carpets from excess tracked-in dirt. These everyday steps don't replace professional advice but can be a useful starting point.
Always prioritise your carpet manufacturer's instructions and ask when you're unsure of the material or what caused a mark.
