Pretest for Color Fastness
Before cleaning the carpet, we recommend testing the carpet for color fastness. Moisten a white towel with the cleaning solution. Test a small hidden area of the carpet in a closet or in a corner. Gently rub the cloth over the carpet. Check each color. If the towel does not pick up any color, it should be safe to use the cleaning solution on the entire area. See below for additional information.

Check the stuffing material if possible
Look inside the cushions or on the underneath side. If filling is a dark color, it may bleed through and discolor the fabric. Most stuffing material that is white to light yellow is colorfast and will not bleed colors through to the fabric covering.
Pretest for Color Fastness
Before cleaning the upholstery, we recommend testing it for color fastness. Moisten a white towel with the cleaning solution. Test a small area of the cushion back. Gently rub the cloth over the area. Check each area for color bleeding. If the towel does not pick up any color, it should be safe to use the cleaning solution on the entire area.
Test clean a hidden area
Be sure to test clean a hidden area several hours before starting to clean. Let the test area dry completely. Inspect for changes in color, bleeding, stretching, or shrinking. Test another area if in doubt.
