Directions from Packaging

Vacuum thoroughly to remove loose dirt. Always test for colorfastness on a clean, small, hidden area, and examine when dry. If color or texture is affected, do not use. Look for manufacturer's cleanability code tag. Use on fabrics coded "WS" or "W". If coded "X" or "S", do not use. Do not use on velvet or silk. Shake can well before & frequently during use. To apply hold can at 45deg angle 4-6 inches from surface. Spray a light, even layer of foam onto upholstery. Clean a small area at a time. Gently spread foam evenly with a clean, damp colorfast sponge or cloth. Do not soak fabric. Rinse sponge, squeeze until damp, and repeat as necessary. When completely dry, vacuum thoroughly. On vinyl or plastic use a clean cloth to wipe off foam while still moist. Directions for Stain Removal: Remove excess stain gently by blotting with a clean, absorbent cloth. Wet the stain with cool water. Do not soak. Spray soiled area and wipe gently with a clean, damp, colorfast sponge, or cloth. Blot dry. Repeat as required to remove stain. For best results and to avoid rings, clean the whole article. Use promptly after the spot occurs.

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

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
