Spot Removal
Shaw’s R2X
®
Stain & Soil Remover is recommended for all
types of spot cleaning and is available from your oor covering
retailer or through www.shawoors.com. It is approved
under the Carpet and Rug Institute’s (CRI) Seal of Approval
certication. Additional cleaning products in the CRI certica-
tion program are listed at www.carpet-rug.org. Do not use
any household cleaners other than those listed in this program,
since many household products contain chemicals that may
permanently damage your carpet.
If one of the recommended products is not readily available you may
use the guidelines below:
Detergent:
Mix 1/4 teaspoon clear, hand dish-washing
detergent with 1 cup warm, not hot, water. Use
a clear, non-bleach liquid dishwashing detergent
such as Dawn, Joy, or clear Ivory.
Hydrogen Peroxide/Ammonia:
Mix 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide (3% solution
available in drug stores) with one teaspoon
undiluted, unscented, clear (non-sudsy)
household ammonia. Use within two hours of
mixing.
Solvent:
Liquid, non-oily, non-caustic type sold for spot
removal from garments. Use products for grease,
oil, and tar removal such as Carbona and Afta.
Do not apply directly to carpet to prevent carpet
damage. (See Procedure A on page 9.)
Vinegar:
1 part white vinegar to 1 part water
Ammonia:
