Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Blot the stain immediately with a clean Universal Cloth to lift as much liquid as possible.

Step 2
Place kitchen paper or a dry Cloth underneath the rug, directly under the stained area, to absorb excess solution.

Step 3
Spray Universal Cleaner lightly onto the stain.

Step 4
Leave for one to two minutes to break it down.

Step 5
Blot with the Universal Cloth, working gently from the outside inward.

Step 6
Replace the paper or cloth underneath if it becomes damp, then repeat the blotting until the stain is gone.

Step 7
Allow the rug to air dry thoroughly before placing it back in use.

Pro tip

Lift your rug and clean both sides if liquid has soaked through — this helps prevent lingering odours.
