Instruction manual
1
If green was spilled on the polish, then it can be rubbed with a school washing gum. Remove finger marks with body talcum powder. Sprinkle stains on them and rub the surface with velvet. Finish cleaning with a cotton pad dipped in vegetable oil.
2
If white wine gets on the upholstery, freeze the stain with a few ice cubes. Then blot it with a soft white towel. Removing a red wine stain will be more difficult. It is important that it is fresh. Sprinkle the salt generously with salt, then brush it off with a soft brush and pat it with a cloth moistened with cool soapy water.
3
Blood stains also need to be removed quickly before they have time to dry. To do this, wet the contamination with a cloth dampened with plenty of cold water. If the stain is old, you can not do without the help of professional cleaning.
4
If the wax got from the candles, let it dry, then lay a blank sheet of white paper on the stain and iron it with a hot iron: the dirt will remain on the paper, but there will be no trace on the furniture.
5
Drops of coffee, tea, chocolate remaining on the fabric upholstery, treat with liquid soap, then rinse with a cloth moistened with lukewarm water.
6
What to do if chewing gum has stuck to upholstered furniture? Freeze the stain with a few ice cubes, folded in a plastic bag. After the chewing gum has hardened, very carefully scrape it off with any blunt object. Do not use knives or a dangerous razor.
7
The stains on leather upholstered furniture are best cleaned with a napkin with warm water and a drop of neutral soap, then wipe the surface with a dry velvet. An oily stain is better not to remove at all - over time, it will soak into the leather coating and disappear.
note
Chlorine-based products, as well as those made on an alcohol basis, are not suitable for cleaning fabric upholstery.
