wood furniture marks on carpet...solutions pls
« on: February 20, 2018, 06:25:00 pm »
Rookie mistake !!! ::)roll  didn't put  foil pads under chair legs !!!     I thought my LM had left the carpet dry. (beige 80/20 mix). no studs on the chair feet so its not rust, but  its left a brown/orange stain where 3 legs  (from 3 different chairs,one from each) have made contact.   6 chairs one table, 28 legs! only 3 have left a mark.  Help please !  ( Custy is taking it very well, at the moment!).
Cheers

Opps sorry to hear that  Im sure you wont do that again.... I would try solvent and toweling and then extract with strong ph cleaner, it may require HyPx when dry or combo reducer such as Dye Gone from Chemspec or similer. All the best... Simon

I did this as a rookie 34 years ago and never did it again! I managed to get away with it using dry cleaning fluid and a towel.
Good luck.

In the first instance try 'Eco-Pog' from  World Of Clean (Solutions); http://www.worldofclean.co.uk/chemicals/spot-stain-gum-removers/eco-pog-spotter-500ml.html   There may be other 'similar type' spotters on the market that you are more familiar with.
In the second instance, you can try Stain2Go, also from WOC. Stain2Go is a reducing agent which can be used on a broad spectrum of stains, and is a safer and milder alternative to the highly successful Solution 'Magic' Stain And Dye Remover. If that fails,  'step it up to trying  'Magic' which might include using an iron for steam

1 Mix acid at 8:1 mix spray on and leave to dwell for 10 mins.

2 Rinse with fresh cold water.

If improvement was made repeat.

3 If there is still a stain spray with  Craftex Shift, leave to dwell for 10 - 15 mins

4 Rinse with fresh cold water

If there is no improvement, dry the area before considering repeating.

This should work depending severity of the stain and the type of carpet. If it doesn't  it may be all you can do. There are other ways of using Craftex Shift (Sodium Metabisilphite) which will improve its effectiveness however there is a risk of removing color from the carpet.

Have Fun

Thanks to you all. I've gone for , Restore solve-it  and their "specialist stain remover"  and as a last resort , their Hy peroxide.   Gulp!!   Thanks again guys, and any advice is always welcome.

Tried the Restore products. Unfortunately they had no impact whatsoever. Offered customer a full refund. Waiting.

A refund on the cleaning?

If you did the damage you’ll find that you’ll have to replace the carpet.

Sorry to hear you have not had the best results. Did you try my method?

Restore Solv it is a solvent cleaner and the stain you are trying to remove is likely a tannin stain from the tannins in the wood. You will have better luck treating it like a tea or coffee stain. Using a solvent first may have actually hindered your progress as it is blocking the water based products from reaching the stain.

You can have Tannin stains or it can be Varnish or Woodstain depending on the article. I did advise you that some of these are impossible to remove. Did you try the stains individually. If the Solv-iT didn't work you should have used the Specialist Stain Remover to try on one of the others. I have had success using this on Tanning stains as it is an Acidic Oxidiser and seemed to cause less bleaching than reducing agents.

Yeah, did everything you suggested. Nothing!  Used different methods on different stains. Nothing!

I have some similar spare carpet to experiment on. Called client,still waiting.

Hi, I did try the difference methods on the
4 stains. Making sure that I read the instructions very carefully and followed them exactly
