Basic Method: Option 1
- Apply Matrix Advanced Stain Remover mixing equal parts of solution A & B together. Apply this to the dry surface only.
- Cover area with plastic.

- Apply Matrix Red Be Gone mixing equal parts of solutions A & B.
- Place a clean white damp spotting towel on spot.
- Press a steam iron set at the lowest steam setting onto the towel. Check the towel every 10-15 seconds for color transfer. Use caution to not transfer actual carpet dye to the towel.
- Rinse with water.
- Repeat steps 4–7 until all color is gone.
