9. To prevent wicking, heavily sprinkle Stain Blotter Anti-Wicking Absorbent Powder on area to absorb any material that wicks up.
10. The customer can vacuum up the Stain Blotter the next day.

SUGGESTIONS AND CAUTIONS:

Also, you may experience wicking on heavier deposits. If deposit is heavy enough to have soaked through backing and into pad, replace the contaminated pad and clean carpet backing as outlined in Steps 1 through 5 above.

Wicking can be corrected by using an absorbent powder such as Stain Blotter Anti-Wicking Absorbent Powder. Simply cover spot liberally with Stain Blotter following your stain removal process. The wicking will go into the Stain Blotter and can then be vacuumed away when dry.

TIP: Stain 1 Stain Remover for Organic and Natural Stains will make most re-occurring stains disappear.
