Apply isopropyl
rubbing alcohol to a clean white cloth, white paper towel
or cotton ball. If the spot extends deep into the pile use
a blotting motion until the spot is removed or no color is
transferred to the cloth. Do not allow the alcohol to
penetrate into the backing as this will destroy the latex
bond. If the spot is on the surface only, rub in one
direction at a time. Never use a circular motion to remove
the spot as this may destroy the texture. Stop if spot is
removed. If not, continue with the next step.
-
Apply a small quantity of
detergent solution to the spot. (To make the detergent
solution mix 1/4 teaspoon of a hand dish washing detergent
which does not contain lanolin or bleach with 1 quart of
water; examples of safe detergents are Dawn® and Joy®.)
Use a blotting motion to work the detergent into the
affected area. If spot is being removed continue applying
detergent solution and blotting with a white paper towel
until spot is removed.
-
Rinse with tap water using
a spray bottle, blot to remove excess moisture.
