Should I
blot the stain before using OxiClean Splot?
We recommend blotting the stain before using OxiClean Splot so that the
pretreat spray and water can clean the carpet fibers more deeply.
Does
OxiClean Splot work on all stains?
OxiClean Splot works well on all kinds of spills, however very thick
substances such as ketchup or paint will be more challenging. For best results,
pick up as much of the spilled substance as possible with a paper towel or
microfiber cloth before
using OxiClean Splot.
Does
OxiClean Splot work on old, set in stains?
Stains come up best when they are fresh. Old, set-in stains,
especially colored liquids such as red wine can set deeply into the fiber making
them almost impossible to remove. For best results, get to spills quickly
before they can permanently damage your carpet.
Does OxiClean Splot have brush attachment?
We do not recommend brushing motions to remove stains from
carpeting. Brushing causes friction that damages the fibers
or weave of the carpet. Flushing the stain out is the most
effective method of permanent spot removal.
How much OxiClean Carpet Stain Remover should I use to
pretreat the stain?
3 to 4 sprays will do the trick. OxiClean Splot
works best when there is not too much foamy liquid being
pulled up. Allow a few moments for OxiClean to break up the
stain and then place OxiClean Splot on the stain and begin
pumping.
How many times do I need to pump to remove stain and water
from the carpet?
For the stain to come up, you must empty the clean
water chamber completely, and the number of times you will
pump will depend on how much water you use. Expect between
60 and 80 pumps to pull up as much liquid as possible.
The clean water chamber is not emptying, what should I do?
Be sure to tighten all knobs and the lid before
first use and whenever you use the OxiClean Splot. This
helps create the suction needed to pull the stain up from
the carpet.
Does OxiClean Splot leave water in my carpet after use?
Because you are pumping 6 to 8 ounces of water into
the carpet to remove the stain, all of that water then also
has to come out. Some water (1 to 2 ounces) may remain in
the carpet after pumping as much as possible. We recommend
you blot the remaining liquid with a paper towel for faster
drying.
Will OxiClean Splot work on larger stains?
OxiClean Splot will clean stains within the size of
the base. For larger stains, simply move the OxiClean Splot
and repeat the process until you have treated the entire
area of the stain.
Does OxiClean Splot work on area rugs?
Yes! OxiClean Splot does work on area rugs.
Does OxiClean Splot work on upholstery?
Because OxiClean Splot works through suction, it needs to create a seal between
the unit and a hard surface. Unfortunately, upholstered furniture tends to be
soft and allow air flow it does not create the level of suction needed.
Therefore we do not recommend using OxiClean Splot for upholstery.
How do I clean OxiClean Splot after using?
To clean the OxiClean Splot after using, simply unscrew the yellow cap marked
out, dump the contents and rinse thoroughly with water. Allow the chambers
inside OxiClean Splot to dry completely before closing the caps so moisture is
not trapped inside. Wipe down the bottom with a clean dry cloth.
Will the
stain come back after using Splot?
Using OxiClean Splot removes stains completely and thoroughly. Stains
reappear when particles of cleaning solution remain on the carpet fibers, which
attract more dirt and dust causing stains to reappear. Because OxiClean Splot
flushes the stain and cleaning solution out of the carpet and the padding, there
is no soap residue left to create a repeat stain.
Will
OxiClean Splot damage my carpet or floors?
Using OxiClean Splot will not damage carpet or wood floors below. For
best results, blot up any remaining liquid in the carpet with a #starfiber
microfiber cloth so the
carpet will dry faster. It is normal for the carpet to be damp afterward, the
water will evaporate and the stain will be gone.
