ST A I N REM O V A L
Simply spray down with water to rinse dirt. Dry outside for
48 hours if using indoors. Regular vacuuming recommended;
do not use a beater brush. Clip loose yarns; do not pull.
Tip: Always treat the affected area immediately. The longer a stain sits, the more difficult
it is to remove. Clean using a blotting motion. Never scrub your rug, as this can damage the
fibers and set the stain deeper into the rug.
