Though the above are good, don’t give a guarantee! Think only one is available over the counter the other two ask for samples but one may be out of stock.

Hi Guys

White spirit or isopropanol will work.

Cheers

I used odourless white spirit on a 2 year old lillly pollen stain and it worked wonders. I think I found the advice on this site,  do a search on here and you will get loads of answers!

Hi GUys

As explained on the CCDO , Solvex, OJ, Citruus gel , Zap it etc will all be either white spirit or a similar hydrocarbon or isopropanol.

Cheers

Its a good idea is you see fresh plants in a room you are cleaning carpets to remove them from the room and tell the client why? she can move them back in once the carpet is dry. Pollen on a wet carpet, not good
