Floor Wax Spot & Stain Removal from Carpets and Rugs
INCLUDES Floor Wax, Floor Finish
- Most “waxes” today are actually metal cross-linked polymers with small amounts of resins, polyethylene wax emulsions, emulsifiers, co-solvents, plasticizers and wetting agents.
- The most common cause of “floor wax” getting on carpet, is from someone applying wax to an adjoining hard surface or stripping wax from an adjoining hard surface area.
- Ammonia is usually needed to remove these finishes.
- Apply TLS® 2000 Heavy-Duty Carpet Cleaning Prespray / Traffic Lane Spotter. diluted 1:10 with water containing 1/2 pint of ammonia per gallon.
- Scrub carefully.
- Extract.
- Flush with Brown Out® to neutralize the alkalinity.
- Be careful not to get stripping solution on to the hard surface.
- To prevent wicking, heavily sprinkle Stain Blotter Anti-Wicking Absorbent Powder on area to absorb any material that wicks up.
- The customer can vacuum up the Stain Blotter the next day.
