Black Oxide, best way of getting it off a light carpet.

Anyone have any tips, I cover up all the time but on occasions you get a dopey customer shuffling through your work.

Dab with blue kitchen towel, and then handful of warfega like hand wipes always works for me, just change the wipes regular away.

Elbow grease, prayers and I've used whatever i can find under the custards sink!! LOL Try not to spread it to far though! On the occasions it has happened I've soaked up what I could then used soap powder an warm water!

I use a sponge with fairy liquid, works every time but just keep dabbing lightly

Best way to get rid of a black stain in the carpet is to suck it with a wet vac (if you have one) then dab it with a dry towel. Then use 1001 stain remover.

Trouble is, this is so effective, it can leave a clean patch, when all around it is darkened!!

If you don't have a wet vac, just dab with kitchen towel. Then use the 1001 carpet cleaner. The point is to remove the spilt liquid before you clean, otherwise you just rub it in and spread it.

lucky you eh, in future it might be a good idea to get a professional in to clean it will score you brownie points with customer also if they ever spotted it on the carpet

Some of these comments show why you guys have a poor reputation. The customer is the customer and they had a right to NOT have their home damaged! Someone has just ruined my bedroom carpet with radiator leakage and said nothing just left and sent me a bill as if it doesn't matter. I'm really upset and can't use the room until it's sorted. Thanks a lot!

If a stain on the carpet stopped me using a room I'd be homeless.

Sometimes it's the really little things in life that drive us crazy. Like unregistered posters digging up a 4 year old thread..
