Putty On a Carpet Gone Hard
« on: March 14, 2011, 03:15:56 pm »
Just had a call, someone has a blob of putty, 10p piece size, on their carpet and its gone hard.
They have had a carpet cleaner in who could not remove it.

Any one any idea what may help.

I would apply gentle heat and remove.

Gentle heat as per a hair dryer, or moist heat as hot water towel?

I had this a while ago and was surprised how easy it came out. Wet it and then chip away with your bone spatula. It will break up, just keep chipping away.

Hi joe i had a  youth club carpets to clean a couple of years ago that had hard putty on the carpet,
i removed it with a steam gun, but got a call back when it dryed as there was oil marks on the carpet
The oil marks i guess was the linseed oil in the putty,

cleaned the spots with citrus gel rinsed and forced dryed with a hair dryer
job done.

So make sure you dry it before you leave to save going back as i did ;D
