All solutions must be cool when applied, or the heat from the solution will set the stain.
Pretest all solutions in an inconspicuous area by applying a few drops.
Hold a white towel against the wet area and count to 10.
Examine the towel to determine if there is any color transfer or changes in the color of the carpet or fabric.
Use each of the cleaning agents on the spot in the order indicated until the spot is removed.
Apply small amounts of cleaning solution with a clean, white absorbent towel.
Blot frequently, do not rub, and continue to apply and blot any remaining moisture or cleaning solution by
pressing and padding the area with the absorbent toweling.
Weight the area down and allow to dry.
