Stain Removal Tips

1. Immediately Take Action - The longer the spot* is allowed to remain, the more chance it has to set and become a permanent stain.
2. Identify the Type of stain you are working on as well as the type of fabric or surface it is on so you can choose the best solution.
3. Remove as much excess stain as you can by blotting, scraping or brushing whatever will come off using a spoon or spatula if needed. DO NOT rub it in.
4. Test fabrics and carpets by applying a small amount of Spot Out to the affected area. Using a damp cloth, make sure no carpet color transfers onto the cloth and that, when dry, there is no visible discoloration in the area you cleaned.
5. Work from the outer edge of the stain towards the center to keep the stain from spreading.
6. Call Simply Clean for professional spot & stain removal if the stain remains.
7. Have a Simply Clean Technician apply our Scotchgard Protector with every cleaning to increase your chances for successful stain removal.

*A spot is when dirt or soil is attracted to an area of carpet and merely sits on the carpet fiber. It can be easily removed with water or professional cleaning.

A stain is when a substance chemically bonds to the carpet fiber, actually changing the color or texture of the fiber, permanently damaging it.
