Scrape gently using a dull knife or spoon to remove any excess spill or dried compound. Dampen a clean, white cloth with carpet cleaner such as Resolve, GOOF OFF, Naphtha, etc. Read and follow directions printed on product. Apply the solvent*-damp cloth on the spot and allow it to stand on the cloth for a moment or so to put the chemical into firm contact with the stain. This will allow the vapors of the solvent to dissolve the spot. (DO NOT apply the solvent* directly on the carpet as it can dissolve the carpet backing.) Remove the cloth. If any of the stain has been transferred to it, place another side of the cloth on the spot and again stand on it. Repeat the process unti I the spot is removed.

* Look for products containing petroleum distillates or hydrocarbon such as trichloroethane, xylene methylenechloride, methane, benzene and/or naphtha. These chemicals may be found in such spot removers and cleaners as Guardsman’s Afta, Dap Cleaner and Thinner, GOOF OFF, M-l Remover, Goo Gone, K2r, etc.
