Remove as much of food spills as possible by scraping gently with a spoon or dull knife.
2
Absorb wet spills as quickly as possible by blotting repeatedly with white paper or cloth towels.
3
Always blot; never rub or scrub abrasively, as a fuzzy area may result. When blotting, work from the outer edge in toward the center of the spot to avoid spreading the spill.
4
Always follow up with water to remove detergent residue that may become sticky and cause rapid re-soiling.
5
Draw out any remaining moisture by placing several layers of white towels over the spot and weigh them down with a heavy object that will not transfer color, such as a plastic jug of water.
