Why they are carpet cleaners.  Or what they are doing.  That is a hard one.  That is also a 2 part question which is not allowed becaues you get twice the bashing.  This is just my opinion. I think, or did I think?  Damm Hide can't remember a thing.

Yes open your eyes...people don't pay to get out...so why should I waste my time...

Yes Lilhood you are trying to be a guru, all the alkaloid acid crap.....anyone can clean carpet don't try to make it more difficult than what it is....

Those chemicals that you are using are killing you, simple soap and water thats all you need...

This business is cleaning...I clean..you take courses.......who knows more..??the person that does it..... or the person who reads about it

C'mon John be fair.

You know and I know that these stains are fairly routine.

That is why I brought it up, because many here don't know how to take them out. I am not and won't ever be a guru of anything.

Just trying to make a couple of people here open their eyes for a minute.

LilNightRider is setting himself up as the stain GURU? LOL

Give us some difficult stains would ya?

I have learned over the years, that HE with all the answers, usually knows very little plus MOST of the time has a poopy little business.

Customers know BULLsh*t as well as other cleaners.

wow I learned something...I'm gonna run out and start taking out ink spots on all four calls that I have.....and I can say I learned it right here on the kleenkuip forum.

To start with you always wipe the ink with a cloth with a lot of  rubbing alcohol  on it and then rinse with a non residual emulsifier in the extractor.. Keep the cloth and rubbing alcohol going usually takes about twenty swipes to get it. Now you'll have some stain left over. I like to try again with cheap hairspray because it has both solvent and alcohol in it, however if not try a bit of pog, but remember the pog has to be rinsed with a volatile solvent.

Now spray an acidic textile rinse over the  remaining stain and spray Vanish or Stain Magic or Helpmate on the spot AND SPRAY THE SAME  textile rinse again. Repeat as necessary. You may have to leave the stain remover sit on the stain for several hours. Its best to place some saran wrap over the spot so that the stain remover doesn't evaporate and to ensure it keeps on working. ALWAYS be sure to neutralize the stain remover with a strong  acidic textile rinse at 3x stronger its regular dilution other wise the wool will go orange.

Too much will make the ink spread.
