From How to Prep Stairs for Holiday Guests, Step 3: Spot Clean Stains
Address any remaining specific stains or heavily soiled areas (e.g., on the intricately patterned stool at 0:33-0:36 or the upholstered chair at 0:30-0:32). Dip a fresh, clean white lint-free cloth into the prepared cleaning solution, wring it out thoroughly until it's barely damp. Gently blot the stained area, working from the outside of the stain inwards to prevent spreading. Do not rub, as this can damage fibers or push the stain deeper. Repeat this blotting motion with a fresh, clean section of the cloth until the stain begins to lift. For stubborn spots, allow the solution to sit for a minute before blotting again.
