Dab lightly.

1. Time is of the essence when the spill is fresh. The more
quickly you attempt to remove it, the more luck you are likely
to have. Once a spill is dry, your chances of removing it
are much less.
2. Blot or scrape up as much excess as possible before using
any cleaning technique. Then, when you've finished the steps,
be sure to blot again with clean, absorbent cloth or paper
towels.
