Carrier bag left on a damp piece of carpet. A little bit of the printing has come off on the carpet. (It's a fresh stain)
Any suggestions?

i had this last year when a custy put a bag down on a damp carpet just went out with a little pre spay and wash it out with no probs useing hwe

Just out of interest here, i have always asked the customer for carrier bags to pur under wide feet such as large wooden 3 piece suite ones, but have always turned the bag inside out, as i thought this could happen.

Seems to be a recent thing. I suspect bag manufacturer's are using water soluble inks due to cost or eco reasons.

Only last week I had a customer use a Tesco Bag as Booties.
it was the type of customer who gives you a hard time.
anyway after removing stains throughout house and about to leave customer said what about these.
I was perplexed and a little rattled as i had worked hard on that area.
then BRAIN kicked in gave them a rub with Micro fibre Cloth everything was A ok
But Never use carrier bags as booties

A bog standard microfibre cloth?
-
Right...
Went round and cleaned with a spotting machine. All the blue mark came out but there's a slight bit of red staining left, even after a lot of work.
Any suggestions as to what'll remove it?
I assume oxybright+fibrebuff+Fibre shampoo would do the trick (Obviously with a pre-test)? The carpet is very light and the mark only small.
(Anyone know where I can get this stuff in *small* sample type quantities?)

Cal, use prochem red rx with heat transfer method.
Eco spotter used to be great for his type of problem but no longer available :'(
