 Topic: Stains in shag carpetPosted: 12/December/2006 at 9:42am |

Guys I need some advice. I am doing a job with light colored shag carpet. They have pets so urine and poo brown spots are plentiful. One spot of tea, one of coke and one of cough syrup(red). Any suggestions? I am using a rotovac with a portable so good chemical advice would really help.

Gasoline would be the most beneficial chemical you could use here to solve the problem. Work well into the fiber with a grandi grommer brush. Light a match.Stand back. Problem solved.

Since it is an old shag ph is not a problem. I would use a high pre spray agitate in and clean the entire carpet . Then see what you are left to deal with as far as spot removal. Don't waste your time taking these spots off before cleaning. Make sure you explain to who ever owns this carpet that there is a great possibility that all of the spots may not respond to normal cleaning precedures and special acts of terrorism may be needed to fully restore the carpet at which time an extra chage may be required depending on the cleaning results. They may be satisified with just your cleaning results.

Doug gave great advice. I cleaned for an apartment complex for many years that had shag carpet. Pre vac big time. Enzall with a boost and lots of agitation would almost always clean them up for me
 Like Doug said qualify the customer before attempting stain removal. Product A @ B from chemspec will remove most of those stains you mentioned. There are others that will work just as well.

No wonder he doesn't post much. He's scared to get flamed

Can't say that I blame him. Things can get tough around here sometimes
