Ingredients from the label


Directions from Packaging

NOTE: always test a hidden section of the carpet for colorfastness. Always use a CLEAN, WHITE cloth to blot soils. Cloth should not be used with other cleaners or chemicals. For Spots and Stains on Carpets and Upholstery: 1) Blot up soil with cloth. 2) Spray Professional RESOLVE Spot & Stain Carpet Cleaner on soiled area. 3) Allow 3 minutes to penetrate carpet fibers and loosen soil. 4) Gently blot soil with cloth. Work from the edge towards the center of the spot. 5) Rinse cloth as needed. 6) Repeat process until carpet is clean. 7) Blot any excess moisture with a clean, white cloth. For Traffic Lanes: 1) Blot up any wet soils with cloth. 2) Vacuum any loose soil or dirt from carpet. 3) Spray on small area of carpet - an area 3 'x 10' is recommended. 4) Allow 3 minutes to penetrate carpet fibers and loosen soils and stains. DO NOT ALLOW SOLUTION TO DRY ON CARPET. 5) Attach a clean bonnet pad to low speed (up to 300 rpm) equipment. Lightly mist the bonnet pad for additional cleaning power and lubricity. 6) Work the area with the bonnet pad to remove soils ans stains. Change bonnet pad as it becomes soiled. 7) Repeat process with a clean, water dampened bonnet pad to help remove any surfactant residue. 8) Allow carpet to dry to minimize resoiling.

Spray directly onto any noticeable spots or soils. 2) Allow 3 minutes to penetrate carpet fibers and loosen soils. 3) DO NOT ALLOW SOLUTION TO DRY ON CARPET.

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.
