Step 2: Prepare the detergent solution by mixing 1/2 teaspoon of detergent to one cup of warm water.
Step 3: Scrape or blot up excess spill.
Step 4: Apply detergent solution, use a damp towel, and leave 3-5 minutes.
Step 5: Blot- don’t rub.
Step 6: Apply white vinegar (undiluted), using a damp towel and blot.
Step 7: Apply water with a damp sponge.
