3.3 Grease and oil
Use this method to remove contamination by
grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, white
coffee, chewing gum, beauty cream, vegetable oil,
wax, crayon, tar, and asphalt.

tomato ketchup, black coffee, egg, fruit, fruit juice,

1. Wipe off the smudge, then wipe the area again
with a damp sponge.
2. If the area is stained, apply a multi-purpose
foam-type cleaner.
3. If the smell of vomit or urine lingers, dissolve 5
ml (0.17 fl oz.) of baking soda in 250 ml (8.5 fl
oz.) of luke-warm water and use the solution to
clean the affected area.
4. If necessary, lightly wipe the area with a fabric
cleaning solvent.
3.5 Other contaminants
Use this method to remove contamination by candy,
ice cream, mayonnaise, and chili sauce.
1. Carefully clean off the contamination, then wash
the area with water and dry it.
2. If any spot remains, clean with a fabric cleaning
solvent.
3.6 Cleaning vinyl surfaces
• Vinyl can usually be cleaned with warm water
and mild soap, e.g., saddle soap.
• Apply a little soapy water and leave it for several
minutes. Then, rub the area hard with a cloth
wet in water. Repeat this process until the area
is completely clean.
