INTRODUCTION

The category of fruit and vegetable juices ranges from sugary apple juice which will leave a sticky, soil attracting residue -- to the natural dyes in tomato juice -- to the artificial colors used in juice products. So, there will be considerable variation in how these spills respond to cleaning. In any situation, the sooner you get to the spill, the better your results will be.

PROCEDURE

Quick Guide

PROCEDURE Flush thoroughly. Apply Avenge Neutral Spotter. Work into stain with tamping brush. Allow dwell time. Extract. If stain remains, use RedZone as described. If necessary, rinse carpet and use StainZone as described. If stain persists, use the Kool Glide Seaming Iron to produce a bonded insert.

STEP 1:
Flush thoroughly with water. The Spot Lifter by Water Claw is an excellent tool for this use. Place the Spot Lifter over the stain. Apply a slow but steady stream of water around the outside of the stain using the Spot Lifter to pull water through the stain and flush it.

A valve on the end of your solution hose will help control water flow.

STEP 2:
Apply Avenge Neutral Spotter. Tamp into staining material using spotting brush.

STEP 3:
Allow 3 minutes.

STEP 4:
Extract with water.

STEP 5:
At this point you need to make a judgment. If the color mainly comes from a natural source, skip over to the oxidizer instructions. If the color comes from artificial coloring that was added to the product or if you are unsure, continue to Step 6.

STEP 6: REDUCER
Use RedZone according to label directions. Be sure to first test carpet or fabric for colorfastness in an inconspicuous location.

STEP 7:
Apply steam from a vapor steamer for 1 to 2 minutes. Pay careful attention to the area being treated and watch for color change.

You may use a slightly damp white cotton towel and an iron on "Steam" setting as a heat source if a vapor steamer is not available.

STEP 8:
Extract treated areas.

STEP 9:
If there is improvement but color remains, repeat steps 6 through 8.

STEP 10:
If the above procedure did not remove the color, be sure spotters have been rinsed from the carpet. Then follow the oxidizer instructions.

OXIDIZER INSTRUCTIONS
Pretest the carpet for colorfastness to StainZone.

Apply StainZone directly onto the remaining dye stain, thoroughly wetting it. Agitate with Gum Getter or similar tool. Allow dwell time.

Extract with hot water. If color remains, reapply StainZone and leave it. The stain will typically disappear within a few hours.

Note: If stain persists after the above steps have been followed, it is unlikely the stain can be removed by cleaning. Consider making a bonded insert using the Kool Glide Seaming Iron.

CONCLUSION
Juice, berry and similar stains can be difficult to remove. Be patient! Don't rush to grab the strongest products first. If you do find you need a reducer or oxidizer, allow time for the chemical reaction to take place. Very few stains are permanent, but many do require patience and perseverance. Be sure to charge appropriately for your time and expertise.
