Title: Furniture dye
Post by: Shaun_Ashmore on May 12, 2008, 04:44:10 pm
Pure wool carpet has furniture dye (I think customer has self cleaned carpet) only been their from yesterday what do you all recommend?
I usually go for RX dye remover from Chemspec as I've had success with that in the past.

Red RX is my only answer but I bet Doug knows something better. Not that I'm putting you under any pressure Doug ;)

Have you been a naughty boy and not put sliders or blocks down. :'(
I do remember someone say they retufted where possible these stains if cleaning didnt work.

Hi Guys
I would try Red RX which is basically a mixture of surfactants mixed with isopropanol.
I would also try isopropanol, acetone etc.
I am also experimenting with a different approach but can't comment yet as it may be too dangerous to the carpet at least ;)
Cheers
Doug

Shaun, I have mixed sucess with wood staining dyes and in wool its very difficult, if heat transfer does not work,then retuft or reweave.
You have been trained on this by Davey L so no excuse
