If your room is square, make the room into four quadrants for more efficient cleaning. When you are trying to clean a stain off of your carpet, never rub. Always use a blotting motion with a cotton ball as this will help to pull the stain from the rug. Rubbing will just spread the stain, making it much more difficult to remove from your floor.
