Fabric/Carpet

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment
frequently to remove dust and loose dirt. A canister
vacuum with a beater bar in the nozzle may only
be used on floor carpet and carpeted floor mats.
For soils, always try to remove them first with plain
water or club soda. Before cleaning, gently remove
as much of the soil as possible using one of the
following techniques:

For liquids: gently blot the remaining soil with a
paper towel. Allow the soil to absorb into the
paper towel until no more can be removed.

For solid dry soils: remove as much as possible
and then vacuum.

To clean, use the following instructions:

1. Saturate a lint-free, clean white cloth with water

or club soda.

2. Wring the cloth to remove excess moisture.

3. Start on the outside edge of the soil and gently rub

toward the center. Continue cleaning, using a clean
area of the cloth each time it becomes soiled.

4. Continue to gently rub the soiled area until the

cleaning cloth remains clean.

5. If the soil is not completely removed, use a mild

soap solution and repeat the cleaning process
that was used with plain water.

If any of the soil remains, a commercial fabric cleaner
or spot lifter may be necessary. When a commercial
upholstery cleaner or spot lifter is to be used, test
a small hidden area for colorfastness first. If the
locally cleaned area gives any impression that a ring
formation may result, clean the entire surface.

After the cleaning process has been completed,
a paper towel can be used to blot excess moisture
from the fabric or carpet.
