Using Cleaner on Fabric

1. First, try the cleaner in an inconspicuous area

to make sure the cleaner does not affect the
color of the fabric.

2. For liquids: blot the stain with a clean, soft

white cloth.

For solids: remove as much as possible and
then vacuum or brush.

3. Spray a small amount of the cleaner onto a

clean, soft white cloth. Do not apply spray
directly to the fabric.

4. Start cleaning from the seams into the stain to

avoid a ring effect.

5. Continue cleaning, using a clean area of the

cloth each time it becomes soiled.

6. When the stain is removed, blot the cleaned

area with another dry clean, soft white cloth.

7. If the cleaner leaves a ring effect, follow up

with the club soda water instructions given
earlier in this section.

Special Fabric Cleaning Problems

Stains caused by such things as catsup, coffee,
tea, milk, fruit, fruit juice, jelly, cheese, chocolate,
vomit, urine, and blood can be removed using
the club soda water instructions given earlier in this
section. If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or
urine, treat the area with a water and baking soda
solution: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda to
1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water. Let dry.

Stains caused by oil and grease can be cleaned
with an approved GM cleaner and a clean,
white cloth.

1. Carefully scrape off excess stain.

2. Clean with cool water and allow to dry

completely.

3. If a stain remains, follow the cleaner

instructions described earlier.

Leather

A soft cloth dampened with water may be
used to remove dust. If a more thorough cleaning
is necessary, a soft cloth dampened with a
mild soap solution can be used. Allow the leather
to dry naturally. Do not use heat to dry.
