NOTE: In many cases listed above, repeated
steps may be required to fully extract
contaminant from material. Items listed
above with (*) may also be removed
through steam extraction method by a
professional cleaner or service.
NOTE: Always check to see that the cleaner used
will not cause damage to the material or
fabric by testing on an area out of sight.
Water Stains
Water stains should be cleaned with a mixture
of 1/4 cup of white powdered or clear liquid laun-
dry detergent (no coloring) in a bucket of warm
water. Working with a clean sponge or white
cloth, start from the outside of the stain and work
your way to the center. This method will keep the
stain from spreading. Do not over saturate as this
may cause de-lamination. No need to scrub, sim-
ply rub lightly or dab the stain.
You may have to repeat this procedure more
than once to achieve desired results. Finish up
with clean water, using the same method, and
blot dry. REMEMBER, this is polypropylene,
basic plastic, so do not be afraid to clean it.
Steam cleaning is also an option. Again, take
care not to over-saturate the material.
