    Menthylated spirits ??? It is highly flammable, isnt it ? I realize it is used as a cleaner for removing PAINT but, is it safe to be soaking into rugs ? Seems a safer ingredient could be used…ammonia ?

      Menthylated spirits is a common stain remover for upholstery, carpets and clothing. Like other single ingredients in household cleaners (including homemade), it is flammable but evaporates when dried.
