PROCEDURE A: 2 cups HOT water with 1 tsp. gentle laundry detergent (using a squirt bottle works best). Mist & blot multiple times. (Tide & Bold are too strong - use a mild detergent if possible). Final step is always absorb as much as possible, finish with step 5 below
PROCEDURE A-1: Same as above except a half and half solution of vinegar and hot water, this is best for natural fibres (cotton).
PROCEDURE A-2: Same as above except 2 Tbs. household ammonia to 1 cup hot water, not on natural fibres, use Procedure ‘A’ on them.
PROCEDURE B: Paint thinner applied with Q-tip. Can damage fabric construction if over applied. Provide adequate ventilation! A professional spotting agent we have available, would be a better choice of product. but this works.
PROCEDURE C: Freeze using ice cubes then chip away after thoroughly frozen.
P - Professional service required!!
(*) - Colors such as those found in soft drinks, Koolaid, candle wax etc. will redye most natural fabrics and some synthetics.
(**) - Solution may need to be heated hotter than the staining product.

METHODS TO REMOVE SPOTS

  1. Remove spots as they happenwhat they still are. while you remember Fresh spots and stains are easier to remove than old ones.
  2. Remove as much solids as you can using spatula or the like.
  3. Absorb wet spills quickly with paper towels and absorb as much moisture as possible!
  4. Always blot the fibre - NEVER scrub or rub, this causes fibres to fuzz & result in permanent damage!!
  5. Final step is ALWAYS to put a stack of paper towels and hold down with a weight such as a book until dry (12-24 hours).
  6. Follow the directions - they actually work when followed properly.
  7. Good luck. If you’re unsure of what needs to be done, don’t panic, just call us and we’ll spot it for you!

 

TREATING URINE & VOMIT EFFECTIVELY

 

URINE TREATMENT

  1. Place stack of paper towels on top and extract as much moisture as possible.
  2. Liberally apply a 1/2 &1/2 solution of vinegar and water. Repeat paper towel procedure. Do not rub or scrub carpet!
  3. Repeat step two - you will need to use 1 1/2 times amount of solution as there was urine. Repeat paper towels.
  4. Place dry paper towels over top again, and a sheet of plastic or wax paper, then a heavy book. Leave this for at least 12 hours or until dry. This can make the difference of a permanent or not permanent stain.
  5. Follow these steps implicitly!!
 

VOMIT / FECAL STAIN

  1. Remove all possible solids with spatula, cardboard etc.
  2. Use hot water, flush the area numerous times. A wet/dry vacuum works well, otherwise use paper towels by the dozen.
  3. If stains are persistent, add 1 tsp. of your laundry detergent to the hot water. A short soaking period may be required.
  4. Blot until dry using paper towels. Place stack of paper towels over area with heavy books on top with wax paper or plastic bag in between to prevent damage to the books, leave for 12 hours until dry!!
