Hi, I guess this is the best place for me to getsome advice. I used WD 40 to remove a rust stain on my carpet, but in the process it left a black smudge on the carpet thta i cant remove. Do any of you guys with your years of experience have any ideas for me on this one. The stain is old but I would like to see if I can make it better. Thanks in advance for your help.

| Try applying something called P.O.G. or P.I.G. You should be able to find some at an Ace, Dixieline, etc. Just follow the directions. |

WD 40 is GREAT on gum.- BUT- try solvent to remove the residue.

If you use a volitile spotter then clean that spotter up with a non-volitile spotter after then throughly flush with water.

To remove rust use an acid based spotter and for the love of god wear gloves. Better yet call someone who can handle the situation properly. Wd 40 is a sin on carpet. When stain removing always start with a solvent and work your way up the ph scale. But , I have found in most cases if a solvent won't remove it you are pretty much done. Excluding of course rust and general dirt. Urine stains, blood, red wine, coffee, water(browning), vomit and feces are specialty stains that need specific procedures and chems to cure. For example never clean blood with warm water. If you are not carefull you will set the stain and will have a daily reminder of how much of a bafoon you are. Gum = non volatile solvent. wax = non volatile solvent and warm water. Taking an iron to carpet is just plain stupid. Not worth the risk. Even if you use a cloth or paper bag. Tar = volatile solvent instant extraction or else. Red stains are hit or miss depending on the age and prior attempts of removal. |

You forgot to mention that anytime you use a non volatile it should be followed with a volatile and rinsed. ------------- Could somebody just clean my carpets! |
