 
- All procedures given in good faith and should be considered as a guide only, since nature of each stain is different. No guarantee is made. Test before proceeding.
- Identify spot or stain.
- Remove excess.
- Perform steps in order (1,2,3, etc.) until spot/stain is removed. Always blot after application of spotter.
- For heat transfer, mix neutral prespray and water 1 to 1. For stubborn stains, mix Reducing Agent Plus for heat transfer (dyes tend to be stripped, so be very careful).
