Title: Coir
Post by: Robin Ray on December 30, 2010, 05:14:12 pm

Hi i have been asked to clean some coir matting with general soil and some blood spotting. Im a bit worried as to how to tackle it. I was thinking of treating the blood with an enzyme, prespraying with microsplitter then agitating then using dry granules agitating leaving for 30 mins then vacuuming. What do you think?

There's no h in it, glad to see the Festive spirit is still lingering though.  ;D

I really wouldn't fancy that job, but if I did I would seriously reduce their expectations of a result BEFORE you start. You can't really use an enzyme as you won't fully extract it with ULM.

I recently had a coir mat to clean usually i would not bother with them but decided to have a go with The Envirodri sponges and the Gen 4, i was absolutely gobsmacked :o the result was amazing :) not so sure how good at removing stains though but dirt ;D

Hi all! It was really very great to read whole discussion going on here. I like to put my point here. I think mixture of salt water can also be used as an simple alternative and soap water mixture to clean coir matting. Let me know if i am wrong at any point.

rubber backed coir matting ? lift it and jet wash it if its blood and hang it to dry might be a option
