4. Blot stains gently, working from the outer edge towards the center of the spot. Remember to turn the cloth frequently so you are always using a clean portion of the cloth.

5. Repeat ‘Step 4’ until the spot is removed or until you no longer have a transfer spot on your cloth. Be careful not to get the carpet excessively wet.

6. Blot the treated spot with water to remove any excess residue.

7. Allow the spot to dry and remember to prevent foot traffic in the area.

Remember that the best time to clean up most spills is immediately after they occur. When using cleaning agents, be sure to pretest a small hidden area to make ensure that the fabric will not bleed or get damaged when being cleaned.
