Just had a call from a lady who has a brand new carpet and has had it covered with the sticky plastic stuff that decorators use. When they took the first lot up, all the dust from the building work has stuck to the staircase so I`ve got to go and try and remove that and then clean all the other areas the minute it is taken off so hopefully the same thing wont happen again. I`ve had a few cases of this now where dirt has stuck to the carpet after the protector has been taken off. there`s got to be a fundimental problem with the product for this to happen hasn`t there? It`s a nightmare trying to get it off. Usually white spirit and a towel but got to be a bit careful with this one as it`s a looped pile and don`t want to make it fluffy!!
