Blot up the
spill by applying pressure with non-coloured paper towels, tissues
or dry absorbent cloths. Soak a small piece of cloth in a solution
of one teaspoon of approved wool detergent (e.g.. Softly) with
one teaspoon of white vinegar and one litre of warm water
Using
a small amount of the solution at a time, and with a dabbing
or blotting motion, work inwards from the edge of the stain
to prevent it spreading. Do not overwet - excessive soaking
may cause rings on the surface, spreading the stain further
and may also damage the carpet, fabric or bedding.
Do
not rub - rubbing will spread the stain over a larger area and
may distort the surface texture of the wool product.
This
step may need to be repeated and is dependant on the nature
of the stain and the amount of staining present. Continue treatment
until stain is removed, always remembering to remove excess
moisture from your carpet, fabric or bedding prior to the next
treatment.
Once
the cleansing agent has removed the stain, blot up excess moisture
from the treated area by applying pressure with non-coloured
paper towels, tissues or dry absorbent cloths.
Rinse
by applying clear tepid water using a small piece of non-coloured
sponge or clean white cloth, again working inwards from the
edge of the treated area.
Do
not rub.
Once
again, remove excess moisture. Hasten drying by placing a clean
cloth on top of the area and blow dry with a fan or reversed
cycle vacuum nozzle. When your wool product is completely dry,
brush gently to restore pile.
IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE CORRECT CLEANING PROCEDURES
OR IF THE STAIN FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE RECOMMENDED TREATMENT,
CALL A PROFESSIONAL CLEANER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
