builders include sodium and potassium tripolyphosphate pyrophosphate polymeric metaphosphates having a degree of polymerization of from 6 to 21 and orthophosphate preferred phosphate builders are alkali metal tripolyphosphates preferably sodium tripolyphosphate in one embodiment the nonionic surfactant is used together with the amido ether sulfate in another embodiment the sodium tripolyphosphate is used together with the sodium lauryl sulfate the methods of the present invention involve applying the stain removing compositions of the present invention to a stained textile such as a fabric carpeting or upholstery the textile is agitated to ensure contact of the stain removing composition with the stain agitation may be accomplished by lightly rubbing the fabric with a finger or a brush the stain may then be removed by ordinary laundering such as an household detergent in another embodiment the stain is removed by applying an extracting cloth to the stained textile the extracting cloth is typically a hundred percent cotton cloth such as a towel or cloth sufficient to extract stain from the textile in one embodiment the extracting cloth forms a sandwich around the stained textile to facilitate removal of the stain the textile and extracting cloth may be heated such as with an iron or steam when using a typically household iron the iron should be set for maximum heat a typical procedure for removing stains by the heat transfer procedure would be applying formula directly to the stained textile rubbing the stain.
