I received a phone call 2 days ago from a guy asking me that if I can clean the areas of the carpets next to the skirting boards...the black lines I mean...do you guys manage to clean this areas and how if yes...tried with Filter Out bun couldn't get them out. Thanks

[wynne jones]

Draft marks can be very difficult if not impossible. Just say you will do your best but can't promise. Try white spirit on a towel and extract.

i find filter out is great with coal and soot marks but not so great with draught marks but i supose it all depends how long they have been there and the carpet type i would go along with what wynne says and dont promise anything but agree to try your best

A good dry aggitation with brush then vac.

Spoon full of citrus gel in a 500ml spray bottle mixed with hot water
Advise customer they will come back in time as the air moves through the backing of the carpet.

[Gabriel Nagy]

A dry agitation will be difficult to do it...is too close to skirting board and if they are quite new..but thanks anyway for reply..

[craignozza]

use a smaller brush then 

[Gabriel Nagy]

Is not about how small or big is the brush...is about that to brush next to skirting is not that easy...only if you have brush with lean pile...

[craignozza]

maybe i misunderstood you but i cant say ive ever had the problem of removing draught marks with a brush as its too close too the skirting it .Have you got a spotting brush ?

[Ian Gourlay]

You can get very thin brushes to clean the crevices in toliets

[Steve. Taylor]

Brushes come in all sizes i even have one that can clean my teeth :

Sometimes, just sometimes, life is hard and you have to get on your hands and knees

[Colin Day]

Get on your hands and knees with a small nylon brush and citrus gel... Works every time...

hot ultrapac renovate (test first), leave on f0r 10 mins and extract with a handtool.

[Gabriel Nagy]

i do not mind getting on my knees...because I stay lie all of us...I tried before to get that draft marks out but in some occasions been unsuccessful...is some some little left...but thanks for the ideas and advices...I'll put them on practice...anyway some customers are happy with them on because they do not like to pay more..where customers are ok and want job done properly I'll dedicate more time...

I would use a combination of - Ultrapak renovate, and Stain pro, and Prochem citrus gel. Agittate in and clean with a smaller wand. Dab/rub dry with a towel.
Im sure with that combination most of the black marks will be out.

I tried Filter Out a few years ago, and it did nothing!

[clinton]

Same as mark citrus concentrate.

Stll will do what wynne says in his post and just tell the client you will do your best..
