The Basics
Messes happen. Luckily, Floorigami makes care and cleaning so easy it barely requires
a guide. Just in case you need a few reminders, we’ve outlined everything you need to
know in this handy guide.
Floorigami Lift, Clean and Replace™ for Spots and Spills
Kids. Pets. General life messes. Floorigami can handle it.
Prompt attention to spots and spills is essential. Some spilled materials will stain or discolor carpet if not removed promptly.
Other spills can leave a sticky residue that may result in increased soiling if not removed.
Follow these simple steps:
1. SCRAPE
Remove as much of food spills as possible by scraping gently
with a spoon or dull knife.
2. ABSORB
Absorb wet spills as quickly as possible by blotting repeatedly
with white paper towels or cloth towels.
3. BLOT
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. PEEL
Once the stain has been blotted, peel the tile off of the floor.
5. RINSE
Rinse the tile under the water faucet, but do not allow the
water to soak the back of the carpet tile. We like to call this
giving your Floorigami DIY carpet a shower, not a bath.
6. DRY
After rinsing the stain, be sure to blot the tile with a towel or
extract the water from the surface with a shop vac. Allow the
carpet tile to dry by placing it on a grate so air can reach the
face and back of the carpet tile.
7. REPLACE
Ensure the tile has fully dried before you place it back in place.
We recommend not walking on wet or damp carpet tiles.
In the event a stain cannot be removed, simply replace the tile altogether with a new tile, or remove the stained tile and swap it with a less
noticeable tile on the edge of the wall. Ensure the arrows on the back of each tile are pointed in the same direction. It may be necessary to
slightly lift surrounding tiles to stick it back in place correctly.
