Title: bobbly bits??
Post by: rich123 on July 11, 2013, 10:39:08 pm

Hi all

Is there an easy and quick way of removing the black bobbly bits from carpets thats
usually caused by socks and foot shuffle?
And no suggestions that I should use my Gillette  ;)

If its bobbly bits then those electric shavers designed for removing these from clothes do a good job. If they are ingrained into the pile then its a different story. Other than using a brass brush on your hands and knees theres not much you can do.

Try a small hand black pad. It works a treat

Hi John, you've recommended the black pad before, but I can't work out exactly what it is, what is the pad made of, or who sell them? I'm using a pet slicker brush, which is okay for small areas.

Think he means these: http://www.restormate.co.uk/epages/15094.sf/en_GB/?ObjectID=15320607

Must say I'd never thought of using these for that purpose before, will have to give it a go.

So you just rub this pad over the raised black bits and job done??

You sure do! Hands and knees job I'm afraid though, but its better than leaving the bobbles behind after cleaning as I think it finishes off the job.

Is that not just like a heavy duty scoth pad? if it is i have a few of these at home, but would never have thought to use them on the carpet... Ingenious! & this will remove the infused/ingrained/intertwined black fibres from a light coloured carpet? I must give that a try next time i have that scenario...
