Stain Removal Tips
Whether they are dribbles or disasters, everyday
accidental stains are part of life. Before the next mishap occurs, read the
tips and suggestions we have compiled for you and purchase ChemDry's
professional Spot Remover.
1. Act quickly - The longer the stain is allowed to remain,
the more chance it has to set.
2. Know what kind of stain you are
working on as well as the type of fabric or surface it is on so you can
choose the best product. View the list below to see which product to use for
water or oil based spots.
3. Remove as much excess stain as
you can by blotting, scraping or brushing whatever will come off. DO
NOT rub it in.
4. Test all fabrics and carpets
before cleaning by spraying a small amount of ChemDry Professional Strength
Spot Remover on a hidden area, blot dry and observe for 10 minutes. Make
sure there is not carpet colour removal onto the cloth and that, when dry,
there is not a visible discolouration in the area you cleaned.
5. Work from the outside edge of
the stain to the inside to keep the stain from spreading.
6. Call ChemDry for expert spot &
stain removal if these efforts do not work.
7. Have a ChemDry professional apply
our 'Powerguard' carpet protector with every cleaning to give you the best
chance for removing stains.
 
Stubborn
Stains and Spills
There are some spills and stains that
may be difficult for the householder to deal with.
The ChemDry professional has the know-how, equipment and solutions necessary
to remove most stubborn stains. We therefore recommend that in the event of
such an emergency the following procedures will minimise further damage.
Things you should do:
- Act immediately before the spills or stain
spreads too far or penetrates the fibres.
- Scrape up as much as possible with a spoon or
palette knife (i.e. a blunt edge).
- Always work towards the centre of the spillage to
avoid spreading.
- Blot up liquids with a clean cloth, towel or
kitchen paper.
- Use plain warm water to dampen and blot the spill
without rubbing.
- Keep spill or stain moist with a little water and
keep a damp cloth spread over the area until help arrives.
- Cover gloss paint with cling film or polythene to
prevent drying.
Things you should not do:
- Do not lift the carpets or roll them up.
- Do not rub the stain. Always blot it up.
- Do not try to dry out by applying heat.
- Do not use solvents, detergents, turpentine or
other solutions.
