•Thoroughly wash any utensils used.
•Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes can result.
•Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
