Title: Will Dye Gone remove a tampered with vomit stain
Post by: wayne zabel on March 05, 2012, 06:41:44 pm

Did some carpets today and one had a vomit stain that the customer had tampered with,used something from Morrisons he said ???

It had left a browny/orange remnant stain

Tried a few things and got no transfer to the towel at all.

Im going back to do some bedrooms in 2 weeks,I told him i would make a few enquiries to see if anyone ad any ideas to help with stains.

Many seem to have good results with the Dye Gone product Im presuming that this stain is still treatable with this product.Is this so.I realise that this stuff will just bleach the stain and not remove it.

What type of carpet is it?

If he's scrubbed it, its probably knackard the pile.

I ain't puking on a sample to find out.

If you can get paid to attempt then go for it.

On your site for the Dye Gone it says "This product works on dyes from soft drinks such as Iron Brew and will out perform other dye removers" you could at least get the spelling right for our other national drink, Irn Bru  ;D

You wont get it out Wayne, maybe make it a little better but  thats it.
I would flush out with cold water then use sod met.

I don't fancy a legal battle with Barr hence the spelling. It has Irn-Bru in the meta ;)

Orange is a bad sign on wool as it can often indicate something very harsh has been used and has damaged the wool.
