If the first agent does not remove all of the spot, proceed to the next. Always rinse treated area with water before applying the next agent. Scrape up all of the solid material using a spoon or dull spatula. Blot up all liquid using a clean white cloth or paper towel. Pretest any spot removal agent in an inconspicuous area to make certain that it will not damage the dye or fiber.
Patience is a key factor in spot removal.
If a dry cleaning fluid is used, overwetting could result in degradation of the latex back. Use a dry extraction cleaning compound, or apply a small amount of a dry cleaning fluid to a towel and blot the carpet, gently working from the edges of the carpet toward the center. When the agent no longer removes any of the spot, blot up excess liquid, and apply a small amount of the agent. Use a clean cloth, and blot gently from the edge of the area toward the center. After the procedure has been completed, rinse the area with water to remove all of the agent.
