carpet or upholstery.

CHECK FOR COLOR FASTNESS:
Before cleaning carpet/upholstery, test for color fastness. Dampen a white cloth with solution. Test a small area in
a closet or under a cushion. Gently rub the cloth over the area. Check each color for color bleeding. If the cloth
remains clean, it should be safe to clean the carpet/upholstery.
