spot cleans
Targets specific stains
Spot cleans means to clean only specific soiled areas rather than the entire surface or item.
The term appears most often on care labels for fabrics that shouldn't be fully washed or dry-cleaned: The tag says spot clean only.
You might spot clean a carpet stain, a couch cushion, or a delicate garment by treating just the dirty patch.
