Preparation and Safety
Before applying the stain remover, always perform a colorfastness test on an inconspicuous area of the fabric. Apply a small amount of the product to a hidden spot, allow it to dry, and check for any color changes or damage. If the fabric is delicate or has special care instructions, consult a professional cleaner.
- Test for Colorfastness: Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Check Fabric Type: Ensure the fabric is suitable for stain treatment.
- Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area.

Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective stain removal:

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stain not completely removed. | Stain is old or particularly stubborn; insufficient product applied; product not left on long enough. | Repeat the application process, allowing a longer contact time (up to 60 minutes). Ensure the stain is fully saturated. For very old stains, multiple applications may be necessary. |
| Fabric discoloration or lightening. | Product left on colored fabric for too long; fabric not colorfast. | Always perform a colorfastness test before full application. Reduce contact time on colored fabrics. Unfortunately, discoloration may be irreversible if severe. |
