Title: cocopops on an 80/20
Post by: garyfindlay on February 28, 2011, 08:01:15 pm

Had a phone call from a custy saying that kid had dropped a bowl of coco pops onto her 80/20 wool carpet. She has been warned to not try anything on it. Has anyone had any luck taking this kind of stain out, or is it a case of turns the milk chocolaty., and sorry your carpet as well mrs.

everything about this stain is protein based.so something like stainpro by prochem would have a chance or something similar, i would extract first you might get lucky! depends also on how long its been down
good luck   gary bristowclean

Rinse then MS and rinse, any browning from chocolate may need a reducing agent.

Cocopops on the carpet? easy, pour on some milk, watch as the milk turns chocolatey :) grab a spoon and tuck in!  ;D

Protein = Enzall.

custy had put kitchen towels down and stood on as directed and nearly all came out just a fiant shadow. It did help it was medium brown, might have been different if it was a white wool.

If it was white you may have had more options as you could use a reducing agent on it without risk of lightening.

Enzall is an awesome product but can lighten dark colours if left to dwell too long or used hot on natural fibres.
