Step |
Procedure |
| 1 |
Scrape and remove excessive stain using a blunt spatula
or spoon. Never use a knife because it might harm the fibers. |
| 2 |
Freeze the stain with ice cube, then break and remove
the frozen pieces. |
| 3 |
Apply a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent or alcohol
to the stain. Use small amounts to prevent any possible spreading of stain. Blot quickly
using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin. Dry-cleaning solvent
and alcohol are commonly available at grocery, drug and hardware stores. Do not use
flammable solvents like gasoline, lighter fluid, etc. |
| 4 |
Apply a small amount of
Paint-Oil-and-Grease (POG) remover (available in hardware stores). Leave for 8-10 minutes.
To remove POG, apply a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent and blot it using soft,
absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin. |

Alternate procedure: After step 2, place
plain brown paper (or brown paper bag) over the stain. Heat an electric iron to low heat
and gently touch it to the paper. The wax will melt and transfer up into the paper. Repeat
the process with fresh paper. Precaution: The iron should not be too hot. |
