What do you do if you spill water on a carpet floor?
Remove water as quickly as possible. This might seem obvious, but if at all possible, don't leave it to the air alone to do the job of drying out your carpet. Use absorbent towels and steady blotting pressure (don't rub) to sop up as much water as you can. Use fans to speed up carpet drying process.
