Not really burnt but scorched, 80-20 wool and nylon how do I get it off or minimise damage?

I have the perfect solution. You need a lump of volcanic rock. It's black and full of little holes that have razor sharp edges. To get some, book a 2 week holiday in Lanzarotte of some other volcanic island. It works a treat at taking the top surface off wool carpet.
Second thoughts. I'll go on holiday and send you a lump when I get back.
Seriously, I'll ask around and see if I can get you a bit.

Shaun,
I don't know about Sheffield, but there are not a lot of volcano's in Essex.
The standard treatment for scorched wool is course sandpaper but I have also used a velvet boffin and on one occasion a suede brush - All used with delicacy.
Any of these will remove black ash but will only improve light scorching.

why not try shaving the carpet either with some hair clippers or a flexed stanley knive.
is'nt a pummel stone that you use on your corns volcanic rock ?

Definately scorched as I am typing from the dog house, it looks as though a cat has run it's arse along the carpet.

played football with some candles!
I've just about done it, sand paper as John Bolton suggested couldn't find a volcano without getting pushed in, vacuumed then sanded then I vacuumed again, applied MS brushed in, extracted applied Chemspecs browning treatment left for a scientifically timed 'bit' and then extracted.
May try again tomorrow I'll see if I can see it from my hiding place.......under the table...doh!

For volcanic rock, try the Bar-b-que stores.
This rock goes under the wire for cooking on.
Don't use used rock. ;) ;)
