Hi lads

Can you help we had some one stay at our house and they spilled a glass of Iron bru on the carpet, he moped it up and said nothing. 

Can you tell me what will remove the mark?

Thanks for help

Roy

Regret to inform you that it's unlikely you'll get it out, as there are two dyes in Irn Bru .....sunset yellow and a red, forget the name.

Ive had success with Argosheen, in the past, but I bought it from the USA and unfortunately don't have any.

There is an old c/c trick which involves ' high heat ' usually delivered with a domestic iron, through a clean white towel ........the only danger, is, you might suffer colour loss.

In most cases we suggest they check their insurance policy........

Would agree with you totally Therapist. In my opinion that stuff and lucosade like chewing gum wants banning.

Try Chemspec patented Coffee Stain Remover - it works on all kinds of stains and use the heat transfer method as described above. Check your insurance first though just incase !

Excellent advice from all of the above, that's about as balanced a response, as you could hope for,hope you're successful, but it will depend on whether the stain has 'fixed 'or not


good luck
