Hi everyone,
What is the best and safest way to remove makeup from a carpet?
-
Hi Davep
Most cosmetics are solvent soluble. The solvent you use will depend on the carpet type. You could try one of the following from Prochem:
E840 Citrus Gel
B123 Solvall
A227 Solvex
B140 Dri Pro
I would try the Citrus Gel first
Take a look at the Prochem website www.prochem.co.uk they have a good stain removal guide which can be downloaded

Hi Dave,
I would use a small amount of white spirit on a towell.
For nail varnish use acetone.

Thanks very much lads, i have some Citrus gel so will give that a go ::)
-
Why use the citrus gel,when white spirit will do a quicker and probably more thorough job? Best, Dave.

Ok off i pop to get some white spirit! This is just a small mess on a new carpet, i guess its not worth using HWE afterwards?
-
Doug likes his white spirit ;) So do I.
You can get odourless now, not sure if it`s as good, but I`m sure Doug will let us know if it`s not
Cheers

You should always rinse a spotting agent. Even ones that dont need it. It may take a wee bit longer but saves maybe a return trip. Best, Dave.

"pog" for me, and it beats acetone hands down on nail varnish

Hi lads,
I went to clean this 'small' amount of makeup but it was everywhere. She said it had been there for 6 weeks and she had rubbed Vanish inti part of it..
I used Citrus gel, as well as white spirit (same results with both) and it came off onto the towel to a certain extent.
What would you recommend to do next? Prespray with some Stain pro (agitate?) then HWE with double clean?
Any ideas?? ???

I always try Citrus Gel first then depending on type of carpet Solvall, Solvex. I keep the white spirit for the wife to clean paint brushes
