You know the ones that comes in little bottles green on a light green 80/20 wool carpet won't shift with chemspec dye remover, acid rinse, solvents, of heat transfer, even tried a little patch of spray and go, so new ideas on what to use, I have a "do or die" waver for this one so anything considered.
-
If its quite near the surface you could always try and snip it off. If its down to the base which I presume it is, how about doing a repair with an available piece of identical carpet? Or even a colour repair?
If this is a no no, I dont think there's much else you can do...

You obviously can't retuft it or you would have done it. Why not try fabric pens.

Chemspec do one but the same thing from Hydramaster is knock out, http://www.hydramaster.com/chemicals/items.asp?job=Spotting%20Agents&ID=12
I've bought it from HM but it's not on their website.
or if you know anyone with a colour repair kit.

Whats Knockout like Shaun? is it any good compared to other manufacturers?
-
I think Chemspec do one, Hydramaster and Alltec personally I think it will be the same stuff, chemical A and B mix equal parts together and apply, all say same thing.

Its called Chemspec helpmate mix equal part a to part b and hey presto!!
A large Bleech mark!! no realy it is good stuff but at £24.02 plus vat it isn't cheap

Paul its in for good mate.The only thing that may save it is acetone, but you need to way up the pros and cons with the custy as its wool.
If you do use it, apply indirectly, give a good dwell then extract and neutralise.
I have found it works well mixed with a little fibe shampoo.

I use Hydramasters knock out as part of my spot removal kit. Its basically hydrogen peroxide in one and ammonia in the other to speed the reaction up, and works well.However I cant see it sorting Pauls problem out.

going to have a play at the weekend, but do like the acetone idea, got a lovely job next week a £lots rug where customer spilt hair removal cream on it, it removed the wool a treat. Customers do the strangest things.
