Got Stains?
Time and patience are the keys to stain removal. In
the event of a spill, take time to carefully read the following
procedures and then follow them thoroughly. Repeat procedures as long as
there is improvement. If a spill is attended to immediately, it may be
possible to remove the spill by blotting with a slightly damp paper
towel, followed by repetitive cold water sprays and further blotting
with a dry paper towel. If this procedure fails to remove the stain
fully, then follow the procedures outlined below.
Procedure A
Apply Dry Cleaning Solvent, use damp towel. Blot-don’t rub! Repeat.
Apply water with a damp towel. Blot dry with a weighted pad of towels.
Procedure B
Scrape or blot up excessive spill. Apply Heaven’s Best Spotter, use a
damp towel. Blot-don’t rub! Apply water with a damp towel. Blot dry with
a weighted pad of towels.
Procedure G
Scrape or blot up excessive spill. Freeze with ice cubes. Shatter with
blunt object (the back ofa spoon, etc.) Vacuum chips away before they
melt.
Procedure L
Apply nail polish remover (non-oily type) – use a cotton swab to apply
to the spill. Don’t wet through to carpet backing. Pickup softened
matter – use clean white paper towel and push toward the center of the
spot to avoid spreading material. Repeat above. Haste may spread the
stain and/or damage the carpet.
Procedure M
Apply Heaven’s Best Spotter. Use damp towel. Leave for 3 to 5 minutes.
Blot – don’t rub! If the stain is removed, finish with a water rinse,
blot, follow with a pad of weighted white paper towels. If the stain is
not removed, continue as follows: apply hydrogen peroxide solution (see
Cleaning solutions), let stand 2 to 3 hours under a weighted pad of
clean white towels. Repeat application of hydrogen peroxide until
removal is complete. Blot-finish with weighted pad of
paper towels. Apply white vinegar (undiluted), only after the stain is
removed.
Procedure Q
Scrape off excess material. Cover with white cotton towel. Apply warm
iron until material is absorbed. Be sure the towel is large enough to
cover the stained area. Take care never to touch the iron to carpet as
the fiber may melt. Change the towel or rotate to clean area and repeat
until all material is absorbed.
