Lip Gloss

Got a job and there is lip gloss on the carpet. Will it extract or will I need to use a solvent first.
Not been doing this for long. Thanks.

I can't remember if I've tackled lip gloss before, so I can't give you a specific answer.
What I will say is - take things slowly - try a little solven on a small area first and see how you get on. If it dosen't work - try something else.
I would always finish off by giving the affected area a good rinse to extract all the chemicals.

As above, my choice would be Prochem Solvex you must flush it out though as it can affect carpet backing.

Acetone or solvex.

Doubt citrus gel will take it out.

Lipstick: Scrape off excess with spatula or blunt knife. Apply Solvall Spotter (or Citrus Gel for surface-only stains) and blot. Apply Solvex for deep stains.
