[the red carpet]

hi all i have a job for tommorow and would like some advice if possible.

sombody has trod in wood stain and walked it across the room.
the carpet is in a show home so is brand new and so pos treated with some sort of staingaurd.
the stain was only caused today.

also if i cant rectify it there going to throw it out so is there anything you would suggest using if i cant get it out with conventional chemicalls ie. nail varnish remover, white spirit etc.

but im sure somebody might offer a suggestion,

You should ask what type of woodstain it is.  Water based or oil based

Hi Red,

With these type of products a lot depends on how permanent it is designed to be .

If it is a cross linking resistant product then once it has 'gone off' there really is very little you can do.

I would try detergent,ms,white spirit, acetone on a cloth to see if there is any colour transfer.

If not write it off as you could spend a lot of time achieving little.

Good luck

Doug
