Stain Removal
Do Not Delay! Failure to attend to an accident soon after it occurs
may cause it to set and become permanent.
Before treating any stain, follow these pre-treatment steps:
Blot up liquids with an absorbent cloth or paper towels.
White materials are recommended because certain dyes
may bleed and make the stain worse.
Gently scrape up semi-solids with a spoon or spatula. Do
not use a knife or other utensil with sharp edges
because it could damage the carpet or upholstery.
If the area has dried, remove the remaining semi-solids
and residue with a sweeper or vacuum.
Be sure to pre-test any spot removal solutions or chemicals
on an inconspicuous area first. This is extremely
important; different dyes and materials could be damaged
or discolored by a cleaning solution. If such a change
should occur, try a different solution or call a professional. If
cleaning on Berber Carpet gently run your machine over
a hidden area. If no fuzzing occurs, continue cleaning in
soiled area.
Use one of the following methods to Preclean the stain:
Using BISSELL Tough Stain Precleaner
, generously
spray the area with the formula. Gently work the solution
with a clean cloth or towel into the area using light
strokes from the edges of the stain to the center. When
your cloth reaches the center of the stain, gently pinch it
in an upward motion. Make sure to turn and change your
cloth frequently and do not rub the stain. You may repeat
this process several times.
or
Use your BISSELL deep cleaner as a Precleaner. With
one of the tools attached to hose, set the Ready Tools
dial to Pretreat and the Smart Mix dial to the High Traffic
setting. Spray the area with solution and allow the Deep
Cleaning formula to penetrate for 3-5 minutes.
Once the Precleaning is complete, use the attached tool
to gently scrub the stain with back and forth strokes.
Allow to dry. Some difficult stains may require a second
treatment.
