Carpet and upholstery spotting (bottle use)
1. Test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the suitability of the product on the surface.
2. Remove (sponge or scrape) any debris or excess stain deposits. The longer stains are left, the harder they are to remove.
3. Apply Release The Grease via a cloth or by spray. Do not over-wet. Gently blot the stain. Never rub. Agitate gently. Stubborn stains may require further light agitation.
4. For heavy stains and spots, leave for 2-5 minutes of dwell time.
5. Blot spot from the outside in. Use a disposable wipe, clean white towel or extract with a machine.
6. Rinse and extract with a portable carpet cleaning machine using a pre-spray detergent. Plush (Carpet and upholstery rinse, softener & cleaner) should always be added to the solution tank water. If a machine is unavailable you can blot away with a damp clean white towel and then neutralise with Houdini stain remover. Blot away again with another damp white towel to remove all chemical and stain residue.

Handy tips
• Attend to spots and spills as soon as possible. Fresh spots are significantly easier to remove. Stains that are left too long can become permanent. Using the wrong product can also set the stain or permanently damage the fibre.
• Do your stain removal working from the outside of larger stains to the inside. This prevents the stain from spreading.
• Always test first in an inconspicuous area before using any cleaning solution. Play it safe, especially when you use a product for the first time. Better to be safe than sorry. Some surfaces can be sensitive to moisture and particular chemical types.
What do I do if a carpet stain reappears after successfully removing it?
Reappearing stains are usually caused when chemical residue or excessive moisture is left deep in the fibre after cleaning and rinsing. As the fibre dries the staining from the backing and bottom of the fibre travels up. This can be resolved by using less stain remover, using less water, increasing the amount of moisture you extract, improving the drying process and conditions, using Plush rinse in your clean water tank and making sure you always extract after using a wet solvent spotter. If you have this problem we also recommend that after recleaning you use Browning & Watermark Remover by spraying it on, raking or brushing it in and leaving it to dry.
Will Release The Grease remove every stain?
