Stain removal

Do not delay! Attending to an
accident soon after it occurs ensures
the chances for full removal. 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 dried, remove the
remaining semi-solids and residue with
a sweeper or vacuum.
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 precleaner,
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 using either the floor cleaning,
or tools or pretreat setting on the ready
tools dial.
