A motel lounge has numerous tire skid marks (bicycle)on comm glue down olefin.. Tried liqua-gel and de-solve-all.. Barely removed anything..
I'm thinking stain magic?
 Since the high friction heat of the tire might have melted the rubber into the olefins (low melting point) making it permanent.
Anyone have success with skid marks?

I'am thinking more along the lines of the olifin melting not the rubber? I've seen wheel chairs melt olifin? ------------- Just My opinion |

They will pay me $250 to get it out and then extract about 400sft lounge..
About 20 feet of skid..

appliance carts make good lines on olifin hallways? The friction and heat from the wheels just make for good conversation especially on grey halls?? ------------- Just My opinion |

Mr. Steamer, I don't think you can dye olefin, unless there is some new thing I haven't heard about.
I get these all the time. The last one was the carpet installers on the 30th floor of a high rise. They tried to say it was the rubber feet on the bottom of the furniture that made the marks. Yeah, right. Took thirty seconds to convince the office manager what the real problem was.

When you dye a carpet you need your dye bath very hot. Olefin will not accept a dye bath. It repells water. ------------- Could somebody just clean my carpets! |

OmG, I actually saw an "interior designer" paint an olefin berber on one of those "while you were out" shows. No kidding, they rolled on paint! It was the most disgusting thing I had ever seen. When the surprised homeowner showed up the first thing they said was "what happened to the carpet?"
I can just imagine the look on the face of the $9.95 a room cleaner when he starts to clean that crap. "Wow, my detergent is melting the carpet!"

Heres the lastest on my post.... The manager does not want to rip up the carpet because it took him 8hrs to do 8x6 section... I checked it out and whoever installed it sure used boo-koo adhesive...
So he wants me to rip out or just lay new right on top... I didn't say yes or no... yet...
What would be the procedure for this?
Rip out i know... but...
install on top I'm not sure....
Type to me....
Thanks.........

Dont carpet over the top, thats just all wrong. The rubber burns are probably permanent, but I use a remover called Pure Power by Lindhaus. Order at 952-707-1131. The stuff works better than any spotter Ive ever seen. The ingredients say stuff like propanol, propane and butane. It will thin out some of the black on a lot of cigarette burns, and thats why it may work on the tire rubber. I think it will break down the rubber if the carpet fibers arent burned to bad. Other than that get out a shovel and get under that carpet and start prying it up an inch at a time and fight that bookoo glue. ------------- I can remove more spots than you can. |

What about using a carpet sheerer? (did I spell that right?). I have seen those really do a good job with getting stains and other problems out as long as it is just on the top of the carpet. http://CarpetCleaningofLasVegas.com - |
