Stain removal
Do Not Delay! Attending to an accident soon
after it occurs ensures the most optimal clean.
leaving it for an extended period of time may
cause it to set and become permanent.
1. blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or
paper towels. White materials are recommended
because certain dyes may bleed and make the
stain worse.
2. Gently scrape up any semi-solids with a spoon
or spatula. Do not use a knife or other utensil
with sharp edges because it could damage the
carpet or upholstery.
3. if the area has already dried, separate and
remove from the carpet whatever semi-solids
and residue that can be accessed before deep
cleaning.
4. be sure to test any spot removal formulas in
an inconspicuous area first. This is important as
some dyes and materials could be damaged or
discolored by cleaning solvents. if such a change
should occur, try a different solution or call a
professional.
5. if cleaning on berber carpeting, gently run
your machine over a hidden area. if no fuzzing
occurs, continue cleaning in soiled area.
6. Using the bissell Tough stain Pretreat, spray
evenly over soiled area. Do not overwet. Wait
3-5 minutes. Gently work the solution by blotting
area with a clean, damp, color safe cloth.
7. Clean large areas with the DeepClean Premier
machine or use the hose to clean spots, stains
and hard-to-reach areas.
