Cab Appearance only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid any product that contains carbon tetrachloride or other toxic materials. With either method, pretest a small area before pro- ceeding. Use a professional upholstery cleaning service when extensive cleaning is needed. Mildew Brush the dry fabric with a soft brush. Sponge with de- tergent, and blot. If the fabric is colorfast, dilute a tea- spoon of bleach in one quart (one liter) of cool water. Apply with a swab, directly on the mildew stain. Dab repeatedly with clear, cool water, and blot dry. Grease and Oil-Based Stains Dampen a small absorbent cloth with dry-cleaning sol- vent or spot remover.
Apply carefully to the spot from the outer edge to the center. Pat and blot with a clean, dry cloth. Repeat several times, as necessary, turning cloths so that the stain does not redeposit on the fabric. Sugar and Water-Based Stains Apply water-based detergent or cleaner, working in cir- cular motions. Pat and blot as dry as possible. Repeat, if necessary, before drying thoroughly. Chewing Gum or Wax Harden the gum or wax with an ice cube wrapped in a plastic bag, then scrape off with a dull knife. Excess wax can be absorbed by placing a thick white blotter over the wax and heating with a warm (not hot) iron.
Remove the remainder by using the same procedure under "Grease and Oil-Based Stains." 8.4
