STAIN REMOVAL GENERAL PROCEDURE

Always rub or brush lightly from the outer edge toward the center of stain to prevent spreading or causing "the ring" when using solvents, especially on twist rugs and pile carpets. On old, dry, or stubborn stains, saturate, blot, and brush. Repeat this operation as often as necessary to remove the stain completely.

HOW TO CLEAN STAINS

a. Work quickly.
b. Blot up excess spills with paper towels. Do not rub.
c. Apply antidote(s) as shown on list with a clean, dry cloth working from edge to center.
d. Do not soak.
e. Pat with paper towels. Dry with fan or hair blower.
f. Restore pile with clothes brush.

REMOVING WAX

Put a blotter or brown paper bag over the spot. Put a hot iron over the blotter. Wait a few minutes until the wax is absorbed into the blotter. Repeat if necessary. Move the iron constantly and do not let it stay in one place.

REMOVING INK

Saturate the spot with hairspray. Allow it to dry. Brush lightly with a solution of water and vinegar.

REMOVING GLUE

Saturate the spot with a cloth soaked in vinegar or alcohol.

REMOVING CHEWING GUM

Press ice cubes against spot. Wait until it becomes brittle and breaks off. Use spot remover to vanish last traces of the spot.
