Title: Draught mark?
Post by: james roffey on October 25, 2009, 04:38:30 pm: I did a white polyprop carpet the other day and where the bed had been you could see what looked like a draught mark where the edge of the bed once was it just would not budge i know i read about oiley stains on polyprop being difficult, i tried multi pro no effect could this have been a draught mark, sometimes i get them out completely, other times faded a lot, but this time not at all.

Had some heavy draught marks last week, albeit cream wool 80/20. Around 3 of the walls in 2 seperate rooms.
Sprayed with Ultrapac, agitated and rinsed straight out. Fabulous stuff.

Post by: slioch on October 26, 2009, 12:34:42 am: It is true - Ultrapac Renovate is better than the ordinary presprays and even the specially formulated filtration products BUT remember it is a renovation product rather than a carpet cleaner so be careful, especially on wool.

Two things are just as important as the prespray solution:
1. Dwell time - give it as long as possible.
2. Agitation - before and during extraction.

Where the marks are away from the edge my RX20 does a great job due to the agitation.

Post by: markpowell on October 26, 2009, 10:30:17 am: I would not advise to use on wool except mon draught marks and soot/carbon removal. I use all the time on polyprops it works by breaking down the static charge in the plastic fibre which clings onto the soil.
It is Prochems recommended pre-spray for PP carpets
