Title: Poo on carpet
Post by: wayne zabel on November 03, 2012, 01:33:30 pm: Been round to a friend of a friend's house today,basically someone has had an accident and pooed on the carpet.Not a solid one if you know what I mean!!

Theyve done the usual and had a go with 1001 ect.

Its a cream PP and so i thought I might nbe able to get a result.Flushed out and applied StainPro and left on for 10 minutes and rinsed.There was a definite improvement but still stain slightly visible.

I told them to see how it looked when it dried.

They want me to go back in a week or 2 and clean entire carpet after some plastering.

Any chances of improving these stains on another visit?

99% certain was PP.Usual matted flat pile in traffic areas you get with PP.

Didnt do burn test as fibres floated.

Carpet Dawg.

I thought it would extract out easily,but as I say they had been scrubbing with 1001.

Mix up something like oxibrite or energiser at 20g in 500ml of warm-ish water. Fully dissolve it, apply liberally and then steam it with an iron, going very gently at first but getting a bit more heavier with the application of steam if it doesn't work straight away. Machine running with hand tool, extract as soon as it fades off.

Post by: Jim_77 on November 05, 2012, 06:26:33 pm: David I used to but the towel just gets in the way- you can't see what you're doing! The iron should only be on synthetic heat setting, with steam on, so as long as you keep it moving it's fine.

Post by: md_cleaning on November 06, 2012, 12:55:23 am: Enzall will do it as already mentioned no need to mess about with irons :)

Post by: Jim_77 on November 07, 2012, 02:51:28 pm: David a hair dryer will not get as hot as an iron unless you have it almost touching, but the problem is it dries off the solution you've just applied!
