MAINTENANCE MANUAL

In the first group of cleaners, which generally can be ap
-
plied to Non Infilled Systems without any special precau
-
tions, are the following:
1) A warm, mild solution of granular household detergent
such as Tide or ALL in water, or any neutral low sudsing
detergent that is recommended for fine fabrics. Use
approximately one teaspoon to one pint of water. This will
handle most stains, as the list below indicates.
2) A three percent solution of ammonia in water for more
severe cleaning problems. (
NOTE:
household ammonia
is three percent. Industrial aqua ammonia is 33%. Dilute
nine parts water to one part industrial ammonia, or the
available supply as appropriate.)
Thoroughly flush the
surface, rinse with an ample amount of cold water after-
wards.
3) Clean, dry absorbents such as paper towels or com
-
mercial “kitty litter” can be used for applicable stains.
In the second group of cleaners, where agents must be
applied sparingly, care must be taken to avoid penetra-
tion beneath the turf fibers. Cleaners will eat away at the
turf backing.
1) Sponge with Perchloroethylene (Dry Cleaning solution).
Blot with absorbent towels. Mineral spirits or a grease
spot – remover will also work. In general cleaners in this
category should qualify as suitable for use on nylon car-
pets. This will be effective with stains listed below:
*Chewing gum is a common hazard and can be removed
by freezing. Spray with refrigerant aerosol and scrape to
remove residue. Aerosol packs of refrigerant are available
from carpet cleaning suppliers for this purpose.
2) A mixture of white distilled vinegar in an equal amount
of water, to neutralize animal waste. Flush thoroughly
with water after application.
3) A one- percent solution of hydrogen peroxide in water,
to treat fungus or mold spots. Apply with a sponge, flush
thoroughly with water after application.
4) Sponge with acetone to remove nail polish.
5) To remove oil paints, blot immediately. Sponge with tur
-
pentine or paint remover (apply sparingly). Blot with de
-
tergent and water. Re-sponge with cold water to remove
detergent. Scrape excess. Sponge with Perchechloreth-
ylene (dry cleaning solvent). Repeat steps as necessary
