General tips for stains

General Tips for Cleaning Fabrics Treated with DuPont™ Teflon® fabric protector

 

◆ Always treat stains promptly.

◆ Sponge the stain, never rub. A gentle blotting action with an absorbentcloth or sponge is most effective. Work inwards from the outside edges to avoid spreading the stain.

◆ Blot up wet or oil-based spills quickly with an absorbent cloth, tissue or sponge. For solid or semi-solid spills,
lift off excess before treating, using a dull knife or spatula.

◆ If the stain has already dried, gently brush off any excess material, then dab gently with a damp cloth or sponge until it disappears.

◆ Never try to remove the stain with household detergents.

◆ Vacuum carpets and upholstery regularly to remove accumulated dirt, which can fade colors and accelerate wear. When vacuuming upholstery, use special brushes and nozzles provided for more effective cleaning.

◆ It is recommended to have carpets and furnishings professionally cleaned from time to time.

◆ Never use water or liquid detergents on velvets.

Important! Before cleaning or treating stains, see manufacturer’s care instructions. When removing a stain, test any stain-removing product (including water) on a hidden part of the furnishing to ensure fabric and/or color is not affected. For large or serious stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner.
