Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on
Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type
cleaner at all. Some spots and stains
will clean
off better with just water and
mild soap.
If you need to use it, then:
Gently scrape excess soil from the
trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner,
light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning
should start at the outside of the
stain, “feathering” toward the center.
Keep changing to a clean section
of
the cloth.
When you clean a stain from fabric,
immediately dry the area with an air
hose, hair dryer,
or heat lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring. (See the
previous
NOTICE.)
