What you will need

• Heavy-duty liquid detergent

• Liquid chlorine bleach
• Commercial color remover

Steps to Clean

1. Pretreat the stain with heavy-duty liquid detergent. Rinse.
2. Soak fabric in dilute solution of all-fabric powdered bleach.
3. If stain persists and garment is white or colorfast, soak entire garment in diluted solution of liquid chlorine bleach and water.

What you will need

• Ammonia
• Detergent
• 3% Hydrogenperoxide

Steps to Clean

1. Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a white paper towel or scraping with a dull knife, then neutralize with an ammonia solution (1 tablespoon of clear household ammonia to 1/2 cup of water.). Saturate spot with the ammonia solution using a spray bottle. Do not wet backing. Blot with a white paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Apply a small quantity of detergent solution to the spot. (To make the detergent solution mix 1/4 teaspoon of a hand dishwashing detergent which does not contain lanolin or bleach with 1 quart of water) Use a blotting motion to work the detergent into the affected area. If spot is being removed continue applying detergent and blotting with a white paper towel until spot is removed.
3. Rinse with tap water using a spray bottle, blot to remove excess moisture.
4. Spray lightly with water, do not blot this time; apply pad of paper towels and brick and allow to dry.
5. If there is still some stain on the carpet and blotting is not removing it, then moisten the tufts in the stained area with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Let stand for on (1) hour. Blot and repeat until carpet is stain free. Light will cause peroxide to change back to water so no rinsing is necessary. Apply pad of paper towels and weight down with brick.
