CAUTION:

Pre-Test:
Pre-test an area so cleaning problems
will not develop during cleaning or after
the carpet is cleaned. Not all products
can be safely used on all fibers and dyes.
1. Mix the cleaner you are using
according to directions and select an
inconspicuous area, such as a corner,
behind a chair etc.
2. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the
mixed solution on a spot about the size of
a nickel. Work solution in with fibers.
3. Press a clean white cotton cloth
against the wet spot and hold it there
for about 10 seconds. Examine the
cloth to see if any dye has transfer.
4. Examine the wet spot carefully to
make sure there is no color change to
the carpet that did not appear on the
cloth.
Pre-Treat Heavily Soiled
Area:
Pre-treat heavily soiled carpet or areas
of concentrated foot traffic with pre-
spotting or pre-spray chemical. If a spot-
ter is used, follow label directions exact-
ly. DO NOT allow to dry on carpet as it
may damage the carpet permanently.
After Cleaning:
After cleaning the carpet when replac-
ing the furniture, place a small square
of styrofoam under the furniture legs to
prevent moisture from damaging the
finish or rusting metal slides.
