Dish Soap,

Old Dessert Spoon,
Small white clean towel or rag,
Small Wet and Dry Vac
Recipe:
Take a Bowl with a pouring spout,

1 cup warm tap water,
1/2 teaspoon dish soap,
Two Table spoons of rubbing alcohol
Pour into spray bottle,
Add Spray Trigger Cap,
Scale the recipe for a bigger mixture.
How to use the spot remover recipe mixture:
1) Spray onto the stain
2) Tamp into carpet using back of dessert spoon to avoid fraying carpet with any rubbing action.
3) Leave to soak 2 mins.
4) Vacuum up using wet and dry vacuum.
5) Repeat 1 – 3 if stain does not dissapear first time.
6) If stain is very stubborn pour on a very small amount of neat rubbing alcohol, but only if you have a wet dry vac to hand other wise the alcohol can damage the carpet backing.
7) Once spot is visibly removed, dab excess moisture using a clean white towel, dab don’t rub.
Tip:
Don’t scrub the carpet damaging the fibres.
Don’t use too much soap in the recipe, even if tempted to.
Only add/pour a small amount of neat rubbing alcohol directly onto the stain if you have the wet dry vacuum.
