I'd like to hear how everybody goes about removing specialty stains like, red stains, old stubborn coffee stains, dye, mustard, ink etc.
I use a combination of steam, extraction, apc and or folex to remove 99% of stains. I'm referring to the stains that normal methods can not remove.
I've had good success with removing small isolated red stains with ammonia and the heat transfer method (iron over a cotton towel). this is a very slow process, but it works.
I will be switching to a new product called red relief, soon (Unless you guys think there is a better option). I have a friend in the carpet cleaning business who uses this with great success.
I ran accross a vehicle last week that had a red stain in the carpet the size of a dinner plate. I was able to significantly lighten small portions of it uses my current method, but it was far too time consuming. The customer didn't expect it to come out, so no big deal.
I'd love to start removing these types of stains and make more money doing so.
I'm hoping to get lots of ideas and see how everybody goes about removing bad stains. Thanks!
