Spot Cleaning
Immediately wipe up the stain with a soabsorbent cloth.
Do not dry the stain completely or it may set.
The longer a stain is allowed to remain on a fabric, the more
dicult it is to remove.
Water-based Stains such as coee, sodrinks, fruit juices,
or milk
Use a water-based cleaner (specically made for cleaning fabric)
or a solution of mild (alkaline) warm soapy water (not overly
soapy) applied with a damp clean cloth or sponge.
Work the cleaner into a lather or foam.
Soak up all remaining solution and then use a clean cloth or
sponge dipped in cool water to remove any residue.
Never use hot water; it will set the stain. Avoid scrubbing.
Oil-based Stains such as lipstick, grease, or salad dressing
Use a dry cleaning solution applied with a damp clean cloth
or sponge.
Test the cleaning solution on a small, concealed area rst.
If there is no spotting, ringing, or damage to the fabric or its dyes,
apply the cleaning solution to the soiled area with light, quick
strokes.
Begin at the outside of the stain and work toward the center,
being careful not to over-saturate the fabric.
KR is also a product that can be used. See product label for
complete instructions.
Do not over apply water or any liquid solution to fabric.
Excessive wetting of the fabric with any liquid solution may result
in permanent damage to the material.
Do not rub too vigorously or you may damage the nap of the
fabric or break bers.
Several light applications are better than one heavy application.
Soak up all remaining solution and then use another clean cloth
or sponge dipped in cool water to remove any residue.
Let fabric dry thoroughly and then vacuum well before using.
If the stain resists cleaning, contact a professional cleaner.
