When dealing with the major messes, sometimes it's better to leave it to outside professionals, according to an article on the FacilityCare website. Sometimes a large spill could have been thoroughly removed if in-house staff had not attempted to clean it up
Some things that the staff should do before calling for outside help are:
• Scraping up as much of the food as possible.
• Blotting the spot with a clean, dry and white towel or something similar. No rubbing.
• Vacuuming the area to pick up any particulates that have worked their way deep into carpet fibers.
