Use and Care Guide

A. Blot excess stain or liquid. Apply lukewarm water to a clean, white absorbent towel and blot the stain

to moisten the fiber layer only. After one minute of dwell time, blot with white paper towel to transfer the

stain. Repeat until no stain is evident on the paper towel. If the stain persists, apply the Cleaning Solution

to a clean, white absorbent towel and blot the stain to moisten the fiber layer only. After one minute of

dwell time, blot with clean and dry paper towel to transfer the stain. Rinse with lukewarm water to remove

the Cleaning Solution, blot dry. If the stain persists, add water again, fold paper towel and place over stain

with weight. Check towel every 5 minutes until towel is stain free. Repeat steps as needed. Brush up pile

and allow to dry before walking on carpet.

B. Blot excess stain or liquid. Apply lukewarm water to a clean, white absorbent towel and blot the stain

to moisten the fiber layer only. After one minute of dwell time, blot with white paper towel to transfer the

stain. Repeat until no stain is evident on the paper towel. If the stain persists, apply 3 % strength hydrogen

peroxide (available in drug stores) to a clean, white absorbent towel and blot the stain to moisten the fiber

layer only, immediately follow with household ammonia to a clean, white absorbent towel and blot the

stain to moisten the fibre layer only. After one minute of dwell time, blot with clean and dry paper towel

to transfer the stain. Rinse with lukewarm water to remove the peroxide solution, blot dry. If the stain

persists, follow directions in method A.

C. Blot or scrape off excess stain or liquid. Vacuum particles, and to soften the stain, apply alcohol or a dry

cleaning solvent to a clean, white absorbent towel and blot the stain to moisten the fiber layer only, then

blot with clean and dry paper towel to transfer the stain immediately. If the stain persists, follow directions

in method A.

D. Blot excess stain or liquid. Apply alcohol or a dry cleaning solvent to a clean, white absorbent towel and

blot the stain to moisten the fiber layer only, then blot with clean and dry paper towel to transfer the stain

immediately. Repeat two times. If the stain persists, follow directions in method A starting from the

application of the Cleaning Solution.

E. Blot excess stain or liquid. Rinse with clear, lukewarm water and blot dry. If stain persists, apply a dry-

cleaning solvent with a dampened white cloth and blot dry immediately, then apply warm water to the

stained area and blot dry with a clean white cloth. Absorb any remaining moisture with layers of white

cloth weighted on top of area. Repeat steps, as needed. Brush up pile and allow to dry before walking on

carpet.

F. Allow area to dry and vacuum excess. Soak with lukewarm water for one minute and blot with sponge

or white paper towel. Repeat until no stain is evident on the sponge or towel. If stain persists, follow

directions in method A, starting from the application of the Cleaning Solution.

G. Blot excess. Test non-oily nail polish remover on an obscure non-visible piece of carpet to see if it

removes carpet color. If not, gently apply remover using a cotton swab (do not wet through to carpet

backing), beginning at outside edge of stain and working toward center, and blot. Repeat if necessary.

Brush up pile and allow to dry.

H. Freeze area with ice cubes. Shatter frozen gum with blunt instrument. Vacuum up pieces before they

melt. Blot to absorb any remaining moisture with white cloth. When dry, brush the pile to restore texture.
