Spot Removal Cleaning Tips
- Heel Marks - Use a pencil eraser to rub them off.
- Crayon Marks - Can be removed from painted walls by scrubbing with toothpaste or an ammonia-soaked cloth. Rinse very lightly and dry.
- Oil Stains - Dab the stain lightly with a white cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol. Do not rub hard. Rub from the outside edge of the area and work inward to remove the stain.
- Red Wine Stains - Rinse with cold water and blot with white cotton cloth until stain lifts. Repeat as needed. Apply baking soda and water mixture and allow to sit for 15 minutes before vacuuming up.
- Lipstick Stains - Apply liquid dish washing soap - preferably one with a grease fighting formula - to a clean white cloth. Dab the stain and let sit for 10 minutes. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
- Spots on Window Sills - Rub the surface with a clean rag and rubbing alcohol.
- General Fabric Stains - In a pinch, rub toothpaste into a stain, dry and rinse.
- Driveway Stains - Can be removed by pouring a large layer of kitty litter on the area, leave it for a day, apply strong solution of detergent and hot water, scrub well, and rinse.
