1. Treat stain from backside of fabric. 2. Remove as much debris as possible with a soft bristle brush (do NOT rub too hard). 3. Use a clean, lint-free white cloth. Lightly pat the stain from the outside moving in (to keep stain from spreading). 4. If a cleaning solution is used, rinse the area well with water to ensure NO solution is left on fabric. 5. Most stains can be treated with household fabric stain removers. It is ALWAYS important to test how the solution will react to the fabric. This can be tested by dabbing solution to a small corner of the fabric. Most household cleaners will provide treatment instructions depending on the type of stain.
