CLEAN Universal Cleaning Resolver

1 — Start Small

Start with the least aggressive method your material can tolerate — escalate only if it doesn't work. Jumping straight to a strong chemical or heavy abrasion often fixes the visible problem while causing damage that's harder to undo than the original stain.

2 — Know the Limit

Not every mark can be fully removed. If a contaminant has changed the material itself — dye loss, corrosion, deep staining — cleaning can stabilize or reduce it, but it won't restore the original state. Knowing that limit early saves time and prevents over-cleaning.
