Seam Sealer Residue on Carpet
Follow These Steps to Remove Seam Sealer from Carpet
Most (but not all) seam sealer manufacturers add a UV reflectant compound (called a “tracer”) to their products to make them more visible to a black light during inspections. This helps in finding the seam sealer if it has gotten on the surface.
- To remove, blot with Saf-T-Solv™ Dry Volatile Solvent Spotter.
- If this fails, blot with acetone or Pro-Solve Liquid Liquid Solvent Spotter.
Most seam sealer manufacturers also manufacture products specifically designed to remove seal sealer from the carpet.
