I have an EOT job lined up this week where several carpets are literally coated in children's paint.
Unfortunately all carpets are wool.
I have replicated the paint spills as best I can on a wool offcut that I use for testing and tried several approaches to remove.
I have tried the prochem approach (as per their advice) and whilst 90% of the paint has gone the pile has become fuzzy and the area covered by the paint is still stained, just much lighter. Result is therefore totally unnacceptable.
I have also tried meth's as recommended on one of the forums. Results pretty much the same as with Prochem.
I am about to call the customer and discuss this with them. I intend to advise replacement carpets purchased.
Before I do this is there anything else I can try as it's a well paying job right on our doorstep and it will grieve me to walk away?
Thanks in advance
p.s. I carry nitromorse equivalent for external use and would never have dreamed of using this on the carpets, but reading on another forum it seems a few would give it a go (nothing to lose time). Would this not just definitely trash the carpet?
