GREASE ON WALLPAPER
1 Blot grease
• Use white kitchen towels to blot the splash, working quickly so that the grease is not absorbed.
• Hold a piece of brown paper or wallpaper against the stain.
2 Use iron
• Warm an iron, switch it off, then press it onto the covering paper to draw out the grease.
• Use an aerosol grease remover on any remaining traces.
RED WINE ON CARPETS
1 Flush spill
• Blot the spill immediately with white kitchen towels then sponge it with warm water to flush out the stain. Pat the area dry.
• Alternatively, pour white wine on to the spill, blot up both liquids, then sponge with clear, warm water and pat dry.

2 Clean stain
• Apply carpet cleaner. Work some of the foam into the stain with a sponge, always rubbing from the edge of the stain inwards to prevent it spreading.
• Sponge the stain with clear water to rinse it. Repeat the treatment until the stain has disappeared.
Rub the foam gently into the stained area
PET STAINS ON CARPETS AND UPHOLSTERY
1 Remove droppings
• Wear rubber gloves.
• Remove the dropping with a spoon, always scraping into the stain to avoid spreading it.
• Pour a few drops of ammonia into warm water and use the mixture to sponge the stain clean. Repeat the treatment if necessary.
2 Remove urine
• Clean the stain from a carpet or upholstery using a cleaner that
contains a deodorant.
• Alternatively, sponge the stain with cold water and pat dry.
Follow this by sponging the stain again with cold water containing a little antiseptic.
