Mud & Dirt

* Allow mud to dry completely. Shatter the dried mud with the handle of a knife and vacuum. * Remove as much of the mud as possible by blotting with a white paper towel or scraping with a dull knife. * Apply a small quantity of detergent solution to the spot. (To make the detergent solution mix 1/4 teaspoon of a hand dish washing detergent which does not contain lanolin or bleach with 1 quart of water; examples of safe detergents are Dawn® and Joy®.) Use a blotting motion to work the detergent into the affected area. If spot is being removed continue applying detergent and blotting with a white paper towel until spot is removed. * Rinse with tap water using a spray bottle, blot to remove excess moisture. * Spray lightly with water, do not blot this time; apply pad of paper towels and brick and allow to dry.
