“But it is,” returned she;  “for Mrs.  Long has just been here,  and
              she told me all about it.”
                 Mr. Bennet made no answer.
                 “Do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impa­
              tiently.
                 “You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.” (Jane
              Austen, Pride and Prejudice)

              Simple everyday upkeep will help maintain the beauty of your new
              carpet. One important aspect of this care is cleaning up food and bev­
              erage spills quickly and correctly. Follow these steps:

              1.  Blot up as much of the spill as possible. Use a clean, white cloth or
                 white  paper  towels.  Try  to  work  quickly  so  the  liquid  does  not
                 have time to penetrate the carpet.
              2.  If the carpet is stained, blot down with a cloth moistened with warm
                 water. Do not use hot water; it will set the stain. Press down firmly
                 to remove as much liquid as you can. Do not rub the stain, because
                 rubbing  can change  the  texture  of the carpet.  Continue  blotting
                 with clean cloths or paper towels until the stain is gone.
              3.  If the  stain  does  not disappear,  mix  1  quart warm  water  with  1
                 teaspoon mild liquid  laundry detergent.  Do not use dishwashing
                 detergent or any detergent that contains bleach.  Cover the  stain
                 with the cleaner.  Let it  sit five minutes.  Then blot up  the  liquid
                 with clean white cloths or paper towels.
              4.  Rinse the stained area with warm water and blot until the carpet is
                 almost dry.  Cover the  stain with a  few layers of paper towels or
                 cloths.
              5.  When the carpet is completely dry, vacuum the carpet. To restore
                 the texture, you may then wish to brush the carpet gently.
              6.  Deep stains may need a professional stain remover.  This can be
                 obtained from your local hardware or carpet store. Follow the di­
                 rections on the container.  If you need additional  assistance,  call
                 800-555-CLEAN. (From a carpet care manual)
