Stain Removal Quick Reference Guide

• If dry, always vacuum first!
• ALWAYS USE GLOVES, particularly with Dry Cleaning Fluids
• Attend to liquid spills promptly.
• Dilute with cold water and soak up excess
• Repeat for as long as you are achieving a positive result.
• DO NOT SCRUB! Blot or use a “tapping” action only if needed
• Avoid bleach-based products
• Leave carpets as dry as possible, do not soak the carpets, use all cleaning agents sparingly
• Don’t over wet with solvents (eg turps and dry cleaning fluid), they can damage the carpet backing.

If you can’t remove a fresh stain, call Ultraclean carpets & Tiles to attend to it as soon as possible. Not allowing it to set can make it easier to remove.
