Carpet Stains
« on: December 18, 2007, 01:17:00 pm »
Any advice on how to remove black stains on a Wilton carpet from a leaked radiator? The stain is, presumably, from iron oxide.

Most stains like this when only a few days old can be removed with any pre spray with a low ph. Once they are older and set they are harder and need stronger chems such as rust remover or even oxidisers or reducing agents.

If the wilton is polyprop ( B/W) then sould come out with no probs using usual chem prespray, if wool then a different ball game and go with caution advising customer that it may be permanent or even you may not be able fully remove all the stain.
