Spot Removal Procedures:
• Act quickly when anything is dropped or spilled.
Remove spots before they dry.
• Blot liquids with a clean, white absorbent cloth or
paper towel.
• For semi-solids, scoop up with a rounded spoon.
• For solids, break up and vacuum out as much as possi-
ble.
• Pretest the spot removal agent in an inconspicuous
area to make certain it will not damage the carpet
dyes.
• Apply a small amount of the cleaning solution rec-
ommended for the particular spot. Do not scrub.
Work from the edges of the spot to the center. Blot
thoroughly. Repeat until spot is removed.
• Follow steps on the Carpet Spot Removal Guide.
• After each application, absorb as much as possible
before proceeding to the next step.
• Absorb remaining moisture with layers of white
paper towels, weighted down with a non-staining
glass or ceramic object.
• When completely dry, vacuum or brush the pile to
restore texture.
• If the spot is not completely removed, contact
a professional carpet cleaner.
Cleaning Solutions:
(A) Dry Cleaning Fluid: A nonflammable spot
removal liquid, available in grocery and
