Guide

Please follow the guidelines listed below when using an ammonia based solution...

• Mix ammonia according to mixing procedures.
• Test an inconspicuous area (i.e. by the zipper on the cushions).
• Apply ammonia.
• Apply surface pressure with white cloth and observe if any colour transfer has occurred.
• If no colour transfer, it's safe to use.
• If there is colour transfer, we would recommend an American Steamers technician inspect the stain.

• Remember, this colourfast test is recommended by American Steamers; however, American Steamers Inc. cannot be held responsible for any damages caused.

Here's an important point to keep in mind when using solvents...

• It is best to first apply solvent to a cloth and then use the cloth to transfer solvent to the carpet.
• Overuse of solvents can delaminate the carpet from its backing.
American Steamers Inc. cannot be held responsible for any damages caused.

• Apply volatile solvent (varsol).
• Apply paint, oil, grease remover.
• Apply tamping and observe transfer to absorbent towel.
• Rinse with volatile solvent using tamping procedure.
• Apply alkaline detergent solution (ammonia).
