Spot & Stain Removal
For best removal results on all stains:
- Scoop up solids before cleaning
- Blot out as much liquid as possible using a clean white absorbent towel or sponge
- Clean with the correct cleaning agent from the spotting chart, or use woolclean
- Apply the cleaning agent on to clean towel – not directly on your carpet.
- Rinse with cold or lukewarm water
- Blot Dry with an absorbent towel, or use a cold air fan to complete drying.
Do Not Rub or Scrub your Wool Carpet as this can cause Permanent Pile Distortion.
