Carbon Black on Carpet - Removing
Carbon Black Spot & Stain Removal From Carpet
It is EXTREMELY important that you NOT get this material wet initially!
- Vacuum very thoroughly, working from the outside toward the center to keep from spreading the material (no brush initially).
- Then vacuum with the brush or pile lift. Pile lifting is too aggressive on Frieze style carpet.
- Apply dilute solution (15:1) Power Gel to contaminated fibers.
- Using Carpet Shark, agitate treated area until contamination becomes suspended in foam.
- Dry extract (no water) foam.
- Repeat steps 3 through 5 until foam no longer colors from substance.
- Thoroughly hot water extraction rinse area to remove Power Gel solution.
- If light color residue remains, apply Stain Magic® 2-Part Stain Remover and allow dwell time. Stain will disappear as it dries.
- Lightly brush or groom to align fibers.
- Of course, if the customer has tried to remove it before you arrived or a herd of elephants has walked on the carpet and ground in the material, you are unlikely to remove it all.
