Work from the edge of the stain to the center to prevent the stain from spreading. Blot with a white cloth or towel. Continue using the cleaning solution until there is no more transfer of the stain to the cloth or towel. When the stain is completely removed, rinse the area thoroughly with cool water and blot with a dry white cloth or towel until all the solution has been removed. Rapid soiling of the carpet may occur if the cleaning solution is not completely removed.
Several rinses are often necessary to thoroughly remove cleaning solution residue.
A mist sprayer may be used to help prevent over-wetting of the area. Once the cleaning solution has been removed, place a one-half inch layer of white paper towels over the dampened area. Weight the towels with a flat, heavy object. Continue to change the towels until they no longer absorb moisture.
