Any type of oil spill will create a continual wicking problem over time. Petroleum based oils can cause damage to the backing and adhesives. Quick action is important to the success of the removal.
- If the spill is fresh, scrape or blot up as much of the oil as possible.
- Apply a generous amount of HOST to the area. Work it through the yarns thoroughly and then pack it down. Allow the packed HOST Dry Extraction Cleaner to dry.
- Only the HOST Dry Extraction Cleaner that have not absorbed the oil will look dry. Scrape up and remove the HOST cleaner and then apply fresh HOST as a poultice and pack it down. Repeat this procedure until the spill is removed.
