• Spray bottle for applying detergents and special solutions.

• Household ammonia solution of 1 tablespoon of clear household ammonia per 1/2 cup of water

• Isopropyl rubbing alcohol

• 3% hydrogen peroxide

• White vinegar solution made up of 1/3 cup of white vinegar, 2/3 cup of water

• Spoon and dull knife

STAINS THAT CAN'T BE REMOVED:
Acid toilet bowl cleaners, acne medication, alkaline drain cleaners, chlorinated bleaches, hair dyes, iodine, insecticides, mustard with turmeric, plant fertilizers and stains of this nature cannot be removed because they permanently alter the carpet's color. Call a professional. Typically, professionals address these types of stains by replacing the stained area. If you do not have extra carpet on hand, they might cut a piece from a closet, or some other inconspicuous area and insert it into the area where the spot was cut out

Asphalt
REMOVAL PROCEDURE (S):
Remove as much of the foreign material as possible by blotting with a white paper towel or scraping with a dull knife. Apply isopropyl-rubbing alcohol to a clean white cloth, white paper towel or cotton ball. If the spot extends deep into the pile use a blotting motion until the spot is removed or no color is transferred to the cloth. Do not allow the alcohol to penetrate into the backing as this will destroy the latex bond. If the spot is on the surface only, rub in one direction at a time. Stop if spot is removed

REMEMBER! Never us a circular motion to remove spot as this may destroy the texture.

Remove as much of the foreign material as possible by blotting with a white paper towel or scraping with a dull knife. Apply a small quantity of detergent solution to the spot.

Rinse with tap water using a spray bottle and blot to remove excess moisture. Then spray lightly with water, but instead of blotting, apply a pad of paper towels and brick and allow to dry. If there is still some stain on the carpet and blotting is not removing it, moisten the tufts in the stained area with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Let stand for one (1) hour.
