- 1). Cover hands with protective gloves to avoid skin irritation from chemicals or cleaners. Latex gloves or dishwashing gloves will suffice. In addition, if stain is caused by a chemical, wear a mask. If an acidic food item is the culprit, a mask is not necessary.
- 2). Rinse the stained area with water. If the surface is vertical, a spray bottle is effective. If the surface is flat with no border or lip, use towels to prevent soiling the floor.
- 3). Combine equal amounts of baking soda and water. Rub ingredients into a paste. To reach crevices, add more water to dilute into a liquid form.
- 4). Assess the spill. If baking soda is ineffective or not available, soak the stained area with ammonia.
- 5). Flush the stain thoroughly to remove cleaners. Wipe area with a cloth if the surface area is vertical.
- 6). Dry the cleaned surface. Use a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
