| Spot Removal Steps: Act Quickly! Msot Carpet available today has been treated with a stain-resistant treatment, so many spills can be removed if immediate action is taken. The longer the delay, the higher the probobility of the spill becoming a permanent stain. Remember, staining is influenced by many factors, and no carpet is completely stain proof.
Blot Liquids!! With a dry, white, absorbent cloth or white (no printing) towles.
Do Not Scrub the area! scrubbing can cause pile distortion in the infected ares. Continue touse a dry cloth orpaper towels until the area is completely dry. For semi-solids, gently scrape up with a rounded spoon. Solids should be broken up and vacuumed until completely removed.
PreTest any Spot Removal Agent in an inconspicuous area, to make certain the solution will not damage the fiber or the dye. After applying several drops to the testing area, hold a white cloth on the area for 10 seconds. Examine the carpet and cloth for color transfer, color change, or damage to the carpet. If a change occurs, another cleaning solution should be selected. Apply a small amount of the selected cleaning solution to a white cloth and allow to sit for about 10 minutes and work in gently.
Work from the edges of the spill to the center of the spill to prevent spreading. DO NOT SCRUB !! Blot, absorbing as much as possible,and repeat if necessary.
Continue using the first cleaning solution as long as there is transfer of the spill to the cloth. Itis not necessary to use all of the cleaning solutions if the first solution removes the spill. Be Patient! Complete removal of the spill may require repeating the same steps several times.
After the spill has been completely removed, Rinse the affected area thoroughly with cold water, and blot with a dry cloth until all of the solution has been removed. Some cleaning solutions will cause rapid soiling if the solution is not completely removed. Apply a one-half inch layer of white paper towels to the affected area, and weigh down with a flat, heavy object. Continue tochange paper towels as needed.
