How to Use the Stain Remover
To use the stain remover, shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well-mixed. Spray a generous amount directly onto the stain and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to penetrate and break down the stain. Afterward, gently blot the stain with a clean cloth or rinse the treated area with cold water for a more thorough cleaning.
For stubborn stains, try using a soft toothbrush to scrub the area gently in circular motions. For grease or oil-based stains, sprinkle baking soda over the treated spot and scrub lightly to help lift tough stains more effectively.
