Clothing: Blot and apply TerraPlus then wait 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse and repeat if necessary.
Wood: Blot off what you can taking care not to spread the jelly. Pour on some cornstarch and wait an hour. Sweep off and repeat if needed. Rinse with a barely damp towel. If any jelly remains blot with our liquid dish soap, wait 5 minutes then rinse with vinegar and water.
