Step 2
Test a small area of carpet first with the solution by spraying it and allowing it to sit for at least 15 minutes, then use a damp sponge to rub in the solution. Use a dry cloth to soak up the moisture. Allow the spot to dry. If the color of the carpet is unchanged, continue.
Step 3
Spray any stained areas liberally with the solution and spray the rest of the carpet, if you are cleaning all of it, with a light mist of solution. Let the solution sit for half an hour.
Step 4
Use a damp sponge to gently rub out stains on any stained areas. Don’t press too hard, just do gentle wipes, to ensure you aren’t pressing the stain deeper into the carpet.
Step 5
Spray one more time over the entire carpet and wait about 10 minutes, then vacuum the entire carpet and allow it to dry for at least a few hours before walking on it.
