Ingredients from the label


Directions from Packaging

BEFORE CLEANING: Like any cleaner, Spot Shot should be tested for colorfastness by applying on a hidden area of carpet. Allow test area to dry completely (at least 12 hours) and observe any color change. If color is affected do not use. Avoid contact with painted, stained, or finished surfaces, including wood floors. DIRECTIONS: For best results, treat stains immediately, before they dry. 1. Shake can well before use. 2. Spray Spot Shot on stain. Avoid saturating carpet. 3. Gently blot with clean, white absorbent cloth. 4. If necessary repeat steps 2 & 3 until stain is gone. 5. After full stain removal, gently blot area with clean cool water in all directions. Repeat and blot area dry. No product removes all types of stains. Old stains should be sprayed and allowed to stand for 60 seconds to allow Spot Shot to loosen the stain. To assure 100% evacuation of can during life of product, 1. Align spray pattern over ink spot on top. 2. Avoid tilting can more than 60% while spraying. Product will not spray effectively in temperatures under 40 degrees F.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score
