Iron or Steamer??
« on: December 07, 2003, 12:00:47 am »
When using some of the chemicals for red stains etc  . The ones that require extra heat applied through a terry towel.

What do you find best?

An iron on the towel of using a steamer??


Thanks

mark when I went to the Connection show i watched a demo of red stain removal he used a wall paper stripper steamer over a damp towel, he left it  on for about 5 mins .  

Does anyone use this remover or do you all go straight to a reducer?

Steamer is safer but learn the iron any ways as back up and for working experience if all else fails...Steamer takes time but as i said less liability...Cobbs is by far the very best...

I use this method and infact removed a salad dressing/vinaigrette stain today from an 80/20 in a home where the guys disabled and on medication.
NO solvents could be used.

Kit: One-step spotter,terry towel,steamer and extractor.

Procedure:

Spray one step onto affected area, cover with terry towel, using hand held steamer blast over terry towel with steam, using your body weight stand on terry towel.Stain is absorbed up , extract off remainder in usual manner.
Stain's gone,no residue,no chemicals .

Simple and effective ;)

Both will work

you can drill a few more holes in a iron (not too deep)

buy one at a used store and give it a wirl.

The extra holes sure make it work better

Wall paper steamers work great too

Like all things be carefull

dont let either one set too long on carpet
