Hi Jason,

First things first, remove the vanish with a cool rinse.

Then proceed as per steveclean sugests.

Thankyou for your responses.

Once I got there , it was a tightly looped wool berber  where the actual spillage was were black marks . THe customer had used foam and spread a brown mark 3 feet across!

I sprayed Nemesis on it , then left it to dwell , while I collected all  my equipment from the van to the lift , moved the van to the carpark 300m down the road , then walked back to the job up on the 4th  floor.

I extracted with my upholstery tool and all but the black marks came straight out. I had never seen black marks on a tea stain before , I went over it a few times with the  buffer and  the black was almost gone. One happy customer.

Altec do a Tea and Coffee stain remover and a Red Wine stain remover.

Both do what they say on the label, Wine remover is only a level down from some kind of bleach (smells like womens hairdressers) dont get a whiff of it, very strong!

I have used both for years very effective, usually buy 5ltrs at a time, just remember to rinse out afterwards or there can be residue probs. Oh and they used to do a Debrown agent which was great for neutralising water stains etc after floods  not seen it for a while, have to look for it next time.

Murky,

I am guessing you are reffering to sod.meta.   correct me if I am wrong but I always thought this was self neutrilising , as in spray and go   , same stuff as altecs i would presume, so no need to rinse.

who ever said dont knock before u try ,i never tried dog crap but i know i wouldnt like  haha
