Will Citrus Gel remove old dried emullsion paint from carpet?
« on: October 06, 2008, 08:00:02 pm »
Looked at a h/s/l today, got a lot of old emullsion paint stains on it, (not gloss) will Citrus Gel be the best bet for removing this type of stain?

Thanks

Did a carpet couple weeks ago.

White emulsion and deep red emulsion on carpets.

The deep red moved easier and completely, some of the white still left. Used Citrus Gel.

Paul you may need a few different solvents in your arsenal, Eco spotter is just one of them, citrus gel, OJ from Hydramaster is better IMO, white spirit, POG, the list goes on.

Hope you are charging enough for that one as they can go on for ever.

Emulsion is one of those that you tell the customer low expectations.

Then if you get success then you are the bees knees in their eyes.

I hope you sucked in lots of air whilst shaking your head before giving her the prognosis.

Joe is right but you should get a high % off but it is pain staking and you'll go through quite a bit of your chosen product.

Citrus Gel £12 ish and you could go through 1 litre if it's stubborn or bad, plus and extra hour of time.

Oh and remember to take a pair of napping shears or a good pair of curved nail scissors and you can just nip the top of the tuft off if there is a little spec of paint.

Much quicker than spotting all of them.
