Stain Removal Tips

REMOVE BIRO OR PEN FROM WOOLLEN CLOTHING
Dissolve 1 teaspoon of Home Scents Laundry Washing liquid with 1 teaspoon of White Vinegar and 1/2 litre of warm water. Soak the stain area for 1/2 hour, then very gently rub the stain from the inside of the garment using a piece of soft cotton. If necessary repeat soaking and gentle rubbing til stain is gone. Then wash the garment as normal.

PROTECT LEATHER SCHOOL SHOES FROM SCUFFING.
Polish them with boot polish and then rub them with the back of a hot spoon. This waterproofs them and hardens the boot polish into the surface of the leather so you have an extra layer.

CARPET & UPHOLSTERY CLEANING TIPS

SPOT CLEANING CARPETS & UPHOLSTERY
Using our Eco Carpet shampoo.
Always apply diluted cleaning solution to a small inconspicuous area of carpet, blot with a white
cloth and check for colour transfer before using. If colour transfer occurs, the carpet/upholstery
is not colourfast and no treatment should be used.
1. If liquid spillage, blot up as much as you can with a clean cloth, pressing firmly all around the
spill to absorb as much of the liquid as possible.
2. If the spillage is solid, scrape up what you can with a spoon or a dull edge of a knife/spatula.
3. Dampen a clean white cloth with diluted Eco carpet shampoo (1 part shampoo to 5 parts
of very warm water).
4. Wipe area gently, working from the outer edge to the centre of the spot. Turn the cloth
frequently so that it is always clean, and do not get the carpet/upholstery excessively wet.
5. Repeat this process until the spot is removed.
6. Dry the carpet by weighing down a half-inch pad of absorbent tissues or cloth to absorb
the moisture or circulate air with a fan.
7. After the carpet is dry, brush the pile up.

WHEN CLEANING CARPET/UPHOLSTERY WITH A CARPET MACHINE.
