Carpet Stain Removal - Red Dye
By James C
If you have ever gotten a red dye stain on a carpet you know that they can be extremely difficult to remove. They might even seem impossible to remove. In this article you will learn how to deal with red dye stains.
The first step in red dye removal is to try a basic spotter. Get a bottle of your favorite general spotter and a white terry cloth towel. Spray the solution on the rag and dab it on the spot. Keep dabbing the spot until all of the stain is removed or until no more red dye transfers to the towel. Remember not to scrub as this could damage the carpet pile. If the spot is gone, consider yourself lucky. If it is still present resist the urge to play chemist and do not use any other products. The more you unsuccessful attempts you make at cleaning the spot, the harder it will be to remove.
If the stain is still there you will need to obtain some red dye remover. There are several brands available. Go to your local home improvement store and purchase one. If you have a carpet cleaning supply store in your area you can find better products there. Read and follow the instructions on the product you buy. Generally you will spray the spot with the dye remover and then place a damp towel over the spot. You will then place an iron set on the lowest steam setting over the towel. Keep moving the iron and do not let it sit in one spot too long. it may take a few applications to completely remove the spot. When you are done, use your general spotter to clean the dye remover from the carpet.
That is all there is to it. Just remember to be patient and use the right chemical for the job. Also take the time to read the product. Follow the directions and read the cautions as these products can be hazardous. Good luck.
