Applying the upholstery foam cleaner: cited steps, not a complete guide
SONAX advises testing colourfastness first in an inconspicuous area. The cited application steps then follow this sequence: lightly and evenly dampen the soiled surface and remove the loosened dirt with a clean, damp microfibre cloth.
Rinsing the cloth with clean water between passes is part of these steps. This is not presented as a complete procedure.
