I know I shouldn't have, but I left a custy with my Turbo Dryer yesterday as she was moaning that it was going to take far to long for her carpets to dry. I picked it up 3 hours later, in the evening and everything was good. (I am always reluctant to leave equipment for obvious reasons, so I'm aware this practice should be avoided)

This evening I get the call that there is oil on the carpet and can I take a look, on close inspection it was ovious it was rubbed in soot and it was in about 4 places. When the custy had found a suspicious deposit, she picked it up and it disintergrated into the carpet and she tried rubbing it ... Then she has rushed to the "Fairy" washing up liquid and attempted to clean it using that, and continued this on several more specks of soot. Why she didn't immediately ring me I don't know.

I asked her if she had pointed the blower towards the fire at any time and she admitted so. I am happy to rectify the problem... but what's the best way....? The carpet is 80/20...

I have told her to put talc on any subsequent spots, leave for 5-10 mins and vacuum without touching or rubbing the area...

Eco spotter or equivalent, ultrapak but requires alot more rinsing and then you are back to square one with the drying.

Derek if you dilute ultrapak more than the recommended dilution rate then you can use it with care on wool abviously without tell you about experience blah blah blah (and you won't learn without trying new things) it can send wool yellow but in all of the years I have been using UP I have had this happen once and I bleached it out, it was on a cream pure wool twist in a bedroom.

Colin use a solvent as it will

a, cut through the washing up liquid
b, safely get rid of the soot

if it doesn't then UP it.

shaun is right but I have only dound this with 100% wool. Not the bog standard 80/20s

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Pete you imbecile, twists can be pure wool are you trying to show off because we don't have fitted carpets in the north just sheep made to fit?

Ultrapak has less chance of spoiling if their is any man made in the carpet fibres, it is (going on memory) a co-solvent so it has water detergents and solvent in it that's why it is good at cutting through grease and carbon, soot being both.

Cor blimey bloody southerners thinking they know it all, up the apples and pears and mi ol ma!!
