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 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 formula 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.
6a. 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.
6b. Using your Proheat 2X with one of the tools attached
to the hose, set the Ready Tools dial to the tools
setting and the Custom Clean dial to the heavy
traffic setting. Spray the area with cleaning formula
and allow the BISSELL deep cleaning formula to
penetrate for 3-5 minutes. Then, using the attached
tool, gently scrub the stain with back and forth
strokes.
7. Allow time to dry. Some difficult stains may
require a second treatment.
