Stain table for common stain-causing substances

If the substances listed in the following are removed immediately from the floorcovering, no stains will result. Stain may only develop if the substances have dried.
The treatment of stains may cause the flooring to brighten up within the area involved. The initial polishing operations that follow, using highly concentrated wash polish products, for example, will correct this difference of brightness to a large extent. Depending on the quantity and size of the stains, basic cleaning work followed by initial polishing operations may be appropriate, so as to obtain a uniform appearance.
