Niel,

For fresh pollen, after removing any loose powder with vacuum hose held above deposit, Eco spotter Citrus Gel and D'limonene work well on pollen that has not been rubbed in.

After the assault this lady has launched, probably with copious rubbing, it may be permanent. RedRx may improve the stain (after a good fresh-water rinse)

Never mind cheryl what about my pollen stain lol

[neil 47]

Thanks John I,ll have a look tommorow.
I think she has attacked it with everything under the kitchen sink.

Hi what is eco spotter

Dan_1,

It is a spotting agent that combined micro-splitters with alcohol.

Available from Solutions-UK (01726 852880)

Dropped a clanger,I sprayed the area with eco spotter agitated lightly and blotted & hey presto the stain came out and so did the dirt ,only problem is she now has a big clean patch in the middle of the traffic lane .
Never mind you learn somthing new every day .

             Neil,  

[Dennis]

Hope you gave her a price for the whole area.  

[neil 47]

I did give her a quote for the area clean still waiting to hear

Niel,

For next time:

When asked to tackle a stain on a dirty carpet - especially in a traffic lane - explain that you cannot selectively remove soil whilst leaving other soil untouched. Show what you mean by spraying a little of a suitable spotter near the stain in question and remove the surface soil with a towel.

Give a price for attempting the removal of the stain and another for a complete clean including stain treatment.

In most instances the customer will go for the complete clean (If properly presented.)

John.

Now you tell me John lol
    like I said you live and learn .
one thing i have learn,t carpets can be deceiving they may look clean but once you start removing dirt and stains they dont look so clean.

Hi Guys,

I use white spirit to remove pollen.

I suspect alcohol, acetone etc will also work.

Cheers,

Doug
