How to Spot Clean Diluted-Bleach Cleanable Fabrics

  • DO NOT use this cleaning method if you are unsure if your fabric is diluted-bleach cleanable. Please contact us with questions.
  • Remove any loose debris. Blot up liquids on the fabric's surface with a clean, dry, white cloth. Don't rub.
  • In a spray bottle, prepare a solution of one ounce bleach and 30 ounces water.
  • On the spray bottle's "fan" nozzle setting, spray the stain with the bleach and water solution and let it soak in.
  • Using a soft bristle brush or sponge, very gently work the solution into the stain. Work from the outside in so as not to spread the stain. Rinse your brush or sponge frequently. (Rough brushing or sponging can damage the fabric and reduce its ability to repel stains.)
  • Use a spray bottle to spray the fabric with clean water to rinse off the bleach solution.
  • Thoroughly blot the stain with a clean, damp cloth. Rinse the cloth between blots, and continue until the stain is gone.
  • Allow fabric to air dry.
  • If the stain remains, repeat these steps using a stronger bleach solution of two ounces of bleach and 30 ounces of water.
