Spotting Guide

The following three solutions will be required together with a dry cleaning solvent (e.g.Dab It Off) and some white absorbent towel or tissue. Ensure to use a white towel to prevent cross-colour contamination.

Test the solution on a small out of the way area, then tackle the stain by working from the outer edge inwards.

Check for colour fastness prior to carrying out any wet process on your carpets.
