These professional strength products will save you lots of time and will make cleaning almost effortless! Best of all, they will save you a lot of money over high priced, watered down, store-bought products.
These are concentrated, commercial strength products and will do an excellent job when properly diluted and used. If you have questions about cleaning certain items or stains, call us or Kleenco and get recommendations about what product to use and how to do it, the phone number is on each bottle.
PROFESSIONAL RULES TO CLEAN BY:
1) Identify the grime. Look on the Stain Chart. Choose the right cleaner for the job. Call if you have questions.
2) Read and understand the directions completely. This is very important for your safety! Professional strength products can cause damage if not used properly
3) Easy does it. Work from the most gentle cleaner (usually EFFORTLESS, a neutral pH spotter) to a more powerful. Don't use the strongest first.
4) Avoid abrasives whenever possible. If you scratch the surface you give grime a place to grab hold.
5) Give the cleaner time to work. Apply the cleaner and let it sit, while you do something else, for the
recommended time (called dwell time) so it can start to break down the grime. If you start scrubbing immediately you are wasting your time, your effort and your cleaner.
6) If you have used another brand of spot remover before Kleenco, it may have "set" the stain and it cannot be removed. Some store bought spot removers are not neutral pH and will either remove or "set" a stain. These "miracle" products are not your best choice.

Stain Removal

Spot removal is essential in maintaining the appearance of your carpet. Giving quick attention to spills will make spot removal easier and reduce damage to the carpet. Kleenco's Effortless will work to remove most common spots. Treat unusual stains with Kleenco's Professional Spot Remover Kit.

Six Steps to Successful Stain Removal

1. Remove the spot or stain as soon as possible. Allowing the stain to set makes it more difficult to remove.

2. Try to identify the type of stain whenever possible. The composition of the stain will determine what method and which spotter to use.

3. Pretest any spot removal agent in an inconspicuous area to make certain the solution will not damage the fiber or the dye.

4. For fresh stains caused by spills of liquids remove as much liquid as possible. Blotting with clean white absorbent toweling is the preferred method. For stains caused by spills of solid materials, gently remove the soil with a spoon, or rubber spatula. Then use the appropriate spot remover.

5. Avoid spreading stains by working from the outside edge of the stain towards the center. Avoid over-wetting the carpet by applying too much stain remover. Always blot the stain, do not rub. Finish by rinsing with water to remove excess spotter and residue.

6. Complete stain removal by applying a one-half inch layer of white paper towels to the affected area. Weigh the towels down with a flat heavy object. Continue to change paper towels as needed.
