Here a few very basic but extremely helpful tips

REMEMBER: Only use a white towel to blot any spill

General Spills
If you have to clean up a spill, grab a white towel and place it over the spill and walk on it to promote absorption, repeat as needed. Then mix white vinegar 50/50 with cool water, enough to rinse the area a few times. Between rinses use more towelling. The vinegar helps to combat the spill from setting in and becoming a stain. So simple yet in many cases this will help immensely.

Rust
Rust marks from a chair leg with a metal base are quite unsightly, so hopefully this will help you. The lemon juice you can buy in most grocery stores has quite an acidic level, and it's this acid that can help remove the rust mark. Take the lemon juice and drip some on the rust spot, place your finger on the area and gently massage. Let this sit for 5 minutes . Return with a white towel and blot by gently rubbing the towel on the rust. Repeat if necessary.

Pets
Your pet can leave you cleaning up a mess sometimes, so how quickly you react can save a lot of trouble. If your pet wet the carpet, grab a white towel and soak up the area by standing on the towel. Repeat a few times to absorb as much as possible. Then mix white vinegar 50/50 with cool water, enough to rinse the area a few times. Between rinses use more towelling.
