FAQs
Do I need to rinse the area with water after using?
No, the formula is designed to be blotted off, leaving no sticky residue behind. Rinsing is generally not required.
Can I use this on delicate fabrics like silk or wool?
It is recommended to check the manufacturer's care label on your upholstery. Perform a patch test in an inconspicuous area first.
Does it remove pet odors?
Yes, the formula is designed to break down the organic components of pet stains, which effectively helps to neutralize associated odors.
Is this safe for car upholstery?
Yes, it is specifically formulated to be safe and effective on vehicle seat fabrics and floor carpets.
How long should I leave the foam on before blotting?
Allow the foam to work on the stain for 3 to 5 minutes before blotting, or until the foam has started to dissipate.
Troubleshooting
Stain is still visible after one application
Some older or deep-set stains require a second application. Repeat the process, ensuring the area is fully blotted dry between applications.
Fabric appears discolored after cleaning
Always perform a patch test on a hidden area first. If the fabric is delicate or antique, consult a professional cleaner before use.
Foam is not dispensing correctly
Ensure the nozzle is not blocked by dried residue and that the canister has been shaken vigorously for 30 seconds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using, always test a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric for colorfastness. Shake the can well before every use to ensure the foaming agents are properly mixed. Hold the can approximately 15-20cm away from the surface and apply an even layer of foam. Allow the foam to remain on the surface for the recommended duration before gently blotting with a clean, absorbent cloth. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during the drying process to prevent damp-related odors. Store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the propellant.
