It is either oil or water based faked tan, treat a small area, with the appropriate treatment, and it wil easly be removed

What Graeme is describiing is basically Hydramasters 'knock out' which would be your best bet on man made, wool though! hmmm you be lucky!

just as a side note, hydrogen peroxide is not really stain removal, but a bleaching by adding hydrogen to the stain and making the stain appear lighter,  as such its only really effective on light / cream / white carpets and does have the tendancy to slowly wear off, so would be wise not to offer it as a permanent stain removal.

I normally suggest using it simply as a cosmetic treatment to enhance the appearance of the stain, not removal, as its actually not removing anything,

Fake tan update once again i tried but failed on the solvent route so had to bleach it rather than remove it. The one thing that made it a little lighter was everbuild upvc solvent the stuff you clean the frames up with.

This job was a 4 bedroom townhouse all carpets cleaned lucky the fake tan was in the bathroom

Funny the lady joked about men being a bad shot and would rip it up anyway and replace with vinyl she must of been happy with the rest of the house £25 tip
