COMMON STAINS AND CLEANING TREATMENTS
TREATMENT METHODS
First:
Remove excess material by blotting to absorb liquids, or by scraping with a dull edge
(butter knife) is a solid.
Second: Clean the remaining stain as directed by the chart below. Always follow the direction
on the container. Apply the cleaning material directly to the stain (avoid over wetting
the carpet or upholstery), then remove the loosened stain material with a white ab-
sorbent cloth or tissue.
Third:
When the carpet is dry, gently brush the carpet pile to restore its appearance.
Note:
Treat unknown stains with a volatile solvent first and follow with other agents as re-
quired. If you are uncertain of the effect of the cleaning agent on the carpet fiber or
dye, test on an inconspicuous area first.
