• Be patient! Most stain removers need some time to work. Let them do their job. Rushing usually means you will be doing the work instead of the chems.

• Don’t be overly aggressive with agitation. Most spot remover products are best worked into the surface by tamping rather than scrubbing. If you cause a texture change (fuzzy carpet) the customer’s problem has become your problem.

• You may repeat some steps as long as you see progress is being made.

• Finish the procedure by rinsing and drying the stain.

• For complete instruction on any product mentioned, please read the label directions.
