I would try encapping it. If it is wickback on the surface thats a quick and sure way.

That looks like remaining oil residue or discolouration due to the oil. Standard pre-sprays are not that effective at removing oils stains. I would mix some citrus gel up with hot water in a sprayer and treat those areas, dwell time and light agitation then rinse out. Post bonnet to dry or stick an airmover on it.

John, how much citrus gel per litre would you recommend?

Just mix it so its liquid enough to spray as it aids covering a bigger area than just using in gel form.

Tony, didn't know you'd used pog as well.

Thanks for all the input. Went to see the customer and she was really nice and accepted the fact that the carpet was clean and looked a load better. I encapped the area collected the money and left................

I've had the opposite problem with encapping. Looks like it was too good a job.

I've just had an email from a regular (6 monthly) client, asking for a quote for their offices.

I did it at the beginning of October with a Cimex machine. Apparently the upstairs offices (which were really mucky and comprise 2/3 rds of the job) still look fine. It's only the downstairs , which have oil stains that need doing.

I've done myself out of about £ 350

Garry, are you still using the Cimex you had from me?

How's your recovery going?

[garry22]

Thanks Ash. Yes & No!

I'm off sick twice! Recovering well but now got the flu as well 

Until the op I was using it wherever I could. Commercial work is well down as the sites plummeted following the over optimisation whack.

[AshWhite]

Long as its paying its way

Could be worse mate, you could have made a full recovery then had the flu - better to get it all out the way now. I bet sneezing is fun when you're recovering from a hernia!

Tell you what Jamie, it's the last time I buy the expensive Encap from you (with built in protector). I'll be out of work if everything stays clean.

From now on it's the bog standard stuff. Hears to resoiling!

[Jamie Pearson]

Basic / Bio / HyDrOx are protector free if you dont fancy running a protection racket.
