  1. Remove excess material

General Guidelines
- Remember these four rules when removing stains:
  1. ACT FAST! Dont't let a stain set!
  2. Start from the outside, working towards the center of the stain
  3. Always use a blotting action (Rubbing causes pile discoloration)
  4. Don't Over-saturate (Water can rot rug's cotton warp threads)
