A clean cloth, dampened with the appropriate cleaning solution, should be applied to the affected areas as soon as possible. Blot the fabric with the treated cloth, working from the outer edge of the stained area and moving in toward the center. In order to effectively draw out the stain, renew the cleaning cloth as often as necessary to maintain an absorbent surface. Clean all stained areas as soon as possible in accordance with the recommended stain removal procedures. Spot clean with upholstery shampoo, foam from a mild detergent, or mild dry cleaning solvent. Hot water extraction or steam cleaning is not a recommended cleaning method. Clean spots or stains from the outside to the middle of the affected area to prevent circling.
