Carpet Spotting Tips
It is important when spotting to always test a spot in an inconspicuous area to assure that no color transfer occurs (other than the stain itself). If no color transfer or water stain can be seen you may proceed with the following spotting techniques:
Food or Drink Spill:
- Blot up the excess spill.
- Blot with water and a clean white rag.
- Spritz the spot with Folex.

- Place approx 8-10 paper towels on the spot and weigh down with phone book or some other item. Leave for atleast 3 hours or until dry.
- Repeat steps as necessary
Pet Contamination:

- Spritz the spot with 50/50 mixture of Folex and Rubbing Alcohol.

Candle Wax Spill
- Place a piece of wax free brown paper bag over the wax spot.
- Set an electric iron with no steam on low and gently touch the iron to the paper. This will melt the wax so that the wax transfers up into the paper.
- Repeat the process. Be careful not to burn the fabric. It's as simple as that!
