Using

Gently
scrape
excess

from
the
trim
material
with
a clean,
dull
knife
or scraper. Use
very
little
cleaner,
light
pressure
and
clean
cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning
should start
at
the
outside of the
stain, “feathering”
toward
the center.
Keep
changing to a clean section
of
the cloth.
When
you
clean a stain
from
fabric,
immediately
dry the area with an
air
hose,
hair
dryer,
or
heat
lamp to help
prevent a cleaning
ring. (See the
previous
NOTICE.)
