Stain removal - Dabbing method

Removing small stains (spot-cleaning) from surfaces and floor coverings using the stain remover and an absorbent cloth. Suitable for textile floor coverings, carpets, textiles and upholstery.

01

Preparatory work

  • Select suitable products to match the surface to be cleaned (type / square metres) and the type of soiling.

  • Select a suitable ready-to-use stain remover (spray or foam).

  • Put up the warning sign.

  • Dab fresh stains with a clean, absorbent and colour-fast cloth.

  • Use a plastic spatula to carefully break up and lift any encrustations.

  • Thoroughly remove any loose dirt (dry vacuuming or brush vacuuming).


Colour fastness pre-test:

  • Spray a small amount of stain remover onto an inconspicuous spot of the surface and leave for a short while to take effect. Then carefully dab it with the white, lint-free cloth. Continue if the surface is colour-fast (the method is otherwise unsuitable).

02

Main task

  • Identify the type of stain and treat it with the appropriate stain remover from a distance of about 10 cm (spray or foam).

  • Allow the stain remover to take effect, but don't let it dry.

  • Use a suitable cloth to dab away the dissolved stain, moving from the outside towards the centre.

  • Change the cloth when it gets dirty and put it with the dirty laundry or dispose of it.

  • Repeat the process until the stain is removed.

  • As needed: Evenly straighten the carpet pile at the stain location with the soft hand brush.

  • Allow the treated surface to dry completely.

03

Final steps

  • Remove the warning sign.

  • Wash the reusable cloths in the washing machine.

  • Dispose of any waste.

  • Clean the cleaning equipment and replace as needed.
