Call today from someone moving into a new flat. She said there was a black area in the corner of a room that she tried to remove with milk 

Why milk I asked.
Someone told her it would get the stain out.
Well it got the stain out apparently.

What about the smell you'll be left with when the milk goes off I asked.

"Didn't think about it at the time and thats why I ringing you now, it stinks"  :

Havn't seen it yet but what will be best to treat it with, enzyme digester & plenty of deodoriser & sanistiser?

Thanks
Paul

I think the protein in the milk helps remove mascara if I remember right!!!!

[Paul Simpson]

Really......not heard that one Colin.
Will ask her when I visit what the stain was/or she thought it was.

[steve horne]

You might have to go deeper, if it's a flat are they concrete floors underneath, and i bet the underlay is well and truly penetrated, but yes plenty of enzyme digester and sanitiser will hopefully turn her diy job back round!!!!!

I can't for the life of me remember where I read it

Colin i recommend you invest in make up remover....it must be a pain washing in milk everyday

Hi

You can also use milk on blood, it's a digestive enzyme.

[Dave Whittaker]

What would you recommend Martin? Red top or full fat?

[The Great One]

full fat only, more enzymes

[Dave Whittaker]

Just so happens I have a bloody job tomorrow, 30 or so droplets...might try it.

[derek west]

got a blood and wine one on wednesday, now theres a challenge.

[The Great One]

Hi

For blood drops spray on diluted persil liquid (1/2 -1 cap full in a 500ml spray bottle)

Extract with either cold water or a terry towel (using a towel won't contaminate your machine)

Or milk, leave and then extract

Regards

Martin

[richy27]

have you tried milk on black coffee and add 2 cubes dont waste it on stains

[Neil Williams]

Martin, what do you estimate the dwel time is on using milk or persil (I presume you're talking biological).
I have heard of using milk before and logically it makes sense due to the enzymes.

[The Great One]

Hi

sorry, yes, always use Bio-logical as it has the enzymes. To neutralize blood with a bio-cide they recommend 15 minutes, I have used the persil (bio) and terry towel and dwell for 5 mins, I would probably do the same with milk, never used the milk method personally.

I have also used persil liquid (BIO) as a pre-spray (cue the shock and horror  ) and do get good results with it.

Hi guys

Far simpler to use an enzyme based product, biological wahing powder does of course contain them.

Trouble with the miulk method is that you now need another enzymeto get rid of it 1

This is something I am going to cover at the CCDO.

Cheers

Doug

[The Great One]

Oh use only liquid never powder, powder will leave a residue (those bits that don't dissolve) 

[Dave Whittaker]

Dealt with the blood today....Couldnt bring myself to walk in the house with a bottle of milk though.

Lost my bottle so to speak  :
