Red Spots

[Marc]

I am new to the business, only been cleaning carpets for 10 months. We clean mostly residential, rentals and a few commercial/professional offices. I usually pre-spray, scrub with a 20" floor machine and a carpet riser brush and extract with a 100 psi portable. I have tried several red out products and have no luck in getting them to come out. I have not tried the heat transfer method yet. Any help in getting the red cool-aid type stains/spots out would be appriciated.

Heat Transfer Red stain removers are the only things that work, the best is the two-part method by CTI's ProChoice, called "Red Relief" it takes out all of the red without bleaching the carpet, its the best product we've tried. Some of the single step processes are faster, but trickier, to use.

Thanx for the info. Is Red Relief a heat transfer method. If so how does one actually do the heat transfer method. Thanx again for your help.

Yes it is heat transfer. You apply the chemical to the stain, then you cover it with a damp, clean, white terry cloth towel, then you heat the towel with a steam Iron on medium heat using the steam function. instructions for different products vary as per safe allowable time limits. most use a 90 second to 4 minute heating interval.

ALWAYS test in an inconspicuous spot prior to entire cleaning.

I use this product and it is unbelievable. We have had this spotting kit for quite a while and never tried it untill recently because we didnt think it would work, but it does. It COMPLETELY removes any sign of the stain without hurting the carpet. I highly recommend it!!
