Please note that throughout the previous instructions, cleaning aids such as scrounge pads, nylon and wire brushes are mentioned. The white scrounge is a non-abrasive pad, which is to be used on delicate items or material. The green scrounge is an abrasive pad; its primary use is for stubborn stains or heavy buildup on not-so-fragile material or surfaces. Nylon brushes are soft bristled brushes to be used on minor stains and hard-to-reach areas. A wire brush is a steel abrasive-type brush used to clean heavy buildups and stains on hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, etc.

NOTE: Improper use of these items will result in scratches and or damages on any surface, fabric or material. Always use with extreme caution. When using our ADVANAGE 20X on delicate fabrics such as upholstery, carpet, silk, or leather, always test an unnoticeable area for color fastness and bleeding.
