hi all. Just wanted to know if there was anything different in the procedure to clean baby poo. does the normal m/s or multi pro work for it. Stain has been there for 3 months to date. Thanks for suggestions.

For what purpose are you cleaning the mark?  Visual appearance, hygiene or odour issue?

Or more correctly, put those in order of importance according to what the customer wants.

some things you'd need to consider are the overall condition of the carpet, what the face fibre is, whether this was liquid  which may have soaked through, have they attempted cleaning it with water (most likely and this may have allowed the substance to migrate deeper and wider underneath than the actual mark on top)

i have visited the site and noticed that the smell has gone. whats left is a dark brown stain as big as our palm. A house party's coming up next weekend and the objective is to eliminate that ugly mark just outside their bathrooms. Oh the mark was caused because the pampers dropped on the carpet and it fell on the wrong side. ( They did try to use some carpet spotter bought from tesco to remove the stain but it didnt budge. only the smell has been elmiminated.

The first thing I'd do (after putting on some gloves) is rinse it through with plenty of plain cold water.

Then I'd treat it with something that's going to kill microbes & bacteria.

I'd say that solvent cleaners are not going to be much use in this case (my experiences only)

For removing the stain you could first try a standard microsplitter or preferably colloidal to see if you get an improvement.

If that had only partial effect I would use a healthy dose of the product I use on greasy soils, which normally finishes off what the previous solution couldn't handle.  A nice hot rinse often helps.  This is all dependant on the fibre of course.

Other than that you're looking at specialist stain removal techniques.

thanks Jim for the tips.

anyone got any other tips on type of chemical most successfull in these circumstances.. pls advise.

gtg, catch yall 2moro.

Good chemicals, the same as good tools, can be useless if used wrongly.  It's the overall combination of chemical, technique and knowledge that seals the deal

Hi Jim

First of all I would clean with a hot powerful cleaning solution with a something like Pureclean or Formula 90  after prespraying with an enzyme digester and leaving while you  set up etc.

This should remove most if not all staining.

If a mark remains could be protein stain due to excreted blood, either treat again with enzyme of sometimes rust eraser will do the trick.

As you are using enzyme make very sure you thoroughly rinse.

Cheers

If using a rust remover make sure you neutralise straight after you have the desired result before rinsing or you may get a call back the next day.
