Spot and Stain Removal

Even with routine maintenance, stains and spots
will occur. Clean up spills as quickly as possible.
Watery spills should be blotted with clean cloths or
paper towels. Thick jelly-like substances should be
removed with a spoon or blunt scraper, and then
blotted. Solids should be scraped using a blunt
scraper and then swept, brushed or vacuumed to
remove the material. After removal of the majority
of the spilled material, it is important to complete
the removal process so the spill does not have a
chance to affect the flooring.

Follow all cleaning procedures using common detergents with a water-only rinse in order to remove all residual
cleaning agents (if Crystal Dry is used, a follow-up water rinse is not required). Allow the area to completely dry before
allowing traffic in the area.
NOTICE: Stains that cannot be removed under the listed procedures can be treated
with a 1:10 bleach to water solution. Mist the solution on the area of discoloration and
allow it to dwell for 5 minutes. Rinse the area with water only in order to remove the
bleach residue. Allow to dry completely before trafficking. Some stains may require a
professional to complete the stain-removal process.
