*Special note:
These areas are subject to degradation from atmospheric soils, such as
cooking oils, furnace soot or contaminated ductwork. Also natural
oils from our bodies combine with dust moisture and sunlight to form
acids that destroy fabric yarns. Periodic cleaning will extend
fabric life.
Fabric Care After Cleaning
Vacuum frequently -- lightly on a daily basis, thoroughlyonce a week.
Because of extra heavy wear, tufts of yarn may stick up. Do not pull; clip off with scissors.
A light steaming with a steam iron followed by a gently brushing will often remove the indentations in carpet pile caused by heavy furniture.
Blot up spills immediately with a clean, white cloth to prevent permanent damage to fibers and dyes.
Remove excess materials with spoon and/or by blotting.
Before using any spot-removal formulas, pretest chemicals in an inconspicuous area.
Always use small quantities of removal solutions (do not over wet as this can cause additional damages.)
Call Fiber Clean's FIRST AID DEPARTMENT for additional advice by phone.
A regular cleaning schedule lessens the possibility of permanent damage from grit and soil by vacuuming alone.
