CARPET STAIN CLEANING TIP

[liceuh]

Nevermind! I just saw the end of the video and you answered my question! Thanks!

[liceuh]

Will this work on red juice/soda stains?

[iSkyBlitz]

Thank you Bob! My puppy got into some food coloring and got it all over the carpet and herself. I needed to look this up fast because it was late and my mom would be really mad about the stain cause the puppy is causing enough trouble that we have to keep her in a kennel when we are out.

[11afdulaney]

Yes it does work on old pee stains.. I just spent hours in my hallway where my toy poodles' been leaving secrets for who knows how long. Thanks Bob.

[ElayneGloomybear]

You remind me of Billy Bob Thorton! :)

great tips! Hope it works for my thicker carpet :$

[bluemaverick1771]

After using the stand up carpet cleaner tank for over an hour I decided to find a better way to get rid of my stains. If only I had done before, after tank, and and your method. Your method makes our carpet look brand new! I will never use the stand up tanks again for stains! Thank you!

[mistressracer]

Bob! Thanks so much for this video. It worked so well....I had a big redish-brown stuck in stain from our little precious kitty which sat while we were on vacation. I tried everything....and now using the directions in the video its GONE! Thank you again.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@mistressracer Wow great testimonial! Just for information purposes, do you know what the reddish-brown stain was? +++Bob

[mistressracer]

@HomeRemodelWorkshop The stain was from her throw up (ek!) she loves a kitty food thats colorful and sometimes she eats fast.....the stains are hard though b/c it mixes with her tummy acid. Soooo happy to have it gone. Thanks again!!

[floorstoyourhome]

Outstanding video. You show what needs to be seen, and you give great benchmarks, "This is what you want to see." That's so essential to anyone following a new procedure for their first time. You not only know your stuff, but you communicate it very well. What a pleasure.

[ecoprocc]

Well done video. Even though I am a professional carpet cleaner. And prefer to take the stains out of my customers carpet. This video is highly recommended due to the fact that this process is correct. Only difference is our cleaning solutions. And extraction unit.

[KOKOJUJU09]

can you use a regular towel or paper towels

[markanddana]

yay it worked. pulled the blue ink right out!

[markanddana]

excellent im gonna try it RIGHT NOW!

[aarjil0]

Thank you Bob for your tip, it's works , I had a dry coffe for 8 months, now it's in the past

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@aarjil0 Sweet ! Glad to hear it worked out so well +++Bob

[BUFFY735]

Amazing! It worked great!

[pnkrcklsr05]

Thank you so much.

[MrDklocks]

Any Advice For Fabric Softener that spilled on my carpet??

[peaceablegarden]

All I can say is WOW! I had some old kitty vomit stains on a rug that I could not get out. I tried 3 different cleaners and essentially gave up until I couldn't stand to look at them any more. I did a google search and found this video. It worked so easily I couldn't believe it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[manhun7]

will this work on really old pee stains?

thank you.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@manhun7 I would give it a shot, never tried it for that but certainly could not hurt+++Bob

[dallas0161]

i spilled coffe on my cream carpet, and guess what, i did none of what you said, jus put a towel down, and danced, whistling dixie, next thing i know, i fixed it....total noob!!!

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@dallas0161 I would like to see your carpet in a couple years+++Bob

[prospotremover]

Pro Spot stain remover is used by professional carpet steam cleaners and works great. Its great and doesnt need any extra tools. Its made by K&C Distribution out of Scappoose, Oregon and can be found online.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@786michele What would it hurt to give this a shot? +++Bob

[happybdayo]

Good work Bob 

do you have any tip's on a radiator (dark and nasty, and my fault !!!)r leak on a woolen carpet???

It's either clean it or leave home because my wife is going to kill me !

[mdilok]

thank you ^^

[Maliah091]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! My three year old son took a dark blue crayon and drew ALL over the carpet in his room. The carpet is a very light tan. I followed all the steps and it worked within minutes!!! I had tried to remove the stain prior to trying this method and all the stain did was smear everywhere. Thank you again!!

[jim4time]

amazing i just cleaned two fake tan staines out of a carpet i have been trying to clean it for a week. got rid of a few other staines two like girlfriends makeup etc. thanks alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WeNeedJesus86]

What about old set in stains? Like months old?

[yati101]

What if the stain is a paint stain

[carpetdyesticks]

carpetdyesticks work on both stains that are darker than the carpet color and those that are lighter like bleach and faded area. It is easier to build the color up from a lighter stain than a darker stain, you just have to remember that its not like a paint, you must work with the color of the stain to get back the carpet color. If your fans do carpet patch/repair with hot glue gun the iron steam w/ wet towels trick is great to loosen/seal the fibers/backing making the patch fit and look better.

[carpetdyesticks]

Nylon carpets are dyed with hot acid dye, that's why the stomach acid from the vomit alters the color, All cat & dog foods have food dyes in them so the carpet gets redyed with the acid & food dye. Apply baking soda to neutralize the acid ASAP, then using wet vac, clean with cold solution first as to not set food dyes then repeat with hot cleaning solution. Any food dyes already set remove as video shows, If olefin carpet then the first 2 steps should remove stain. Olefin reacts badly to heat.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@carpetdyesticks Thank you for your insight, good knowledge to have.+++Bob P.S I checked out your videos as well, How often do people get bleach stains on their carpets or does your system work with any kind of stain that lightens carpet?

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@carpetdyesticks I appreciate your info,however, The stomach acid and or whatever else was in the dog vomit did leave a mark on the carpet that was removed and did not damage the carpet the way I showed to do it. I have had the same results with non-berber carpet in my home. That being said, it is not the only way to clean carpet stains for the homeowner and we would appreciate any suggestions you could offer+++Bob

[unclesame101]

what if the stain has been there for 24 hours and i use these method would it work? please respond fastt!!!

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@unclesame101 I have had great luck even with set in stains+++Bob

[UltimaWeapon095]

will this still work if ur cloths r other colours like blue+white, and will this work on stains over a week?

[UltimaWeapon095]

will this still work if ur cloths r other colours like blue+white, and will this work on stains over a week?

[christentze]

thank you so much, man.

[tazmakaveli]

would this work on Spaghetti sauce stains

[misty4m]

it worked on big stains for me just fine.

[misty4m]

It really work, I just cleaned up my sons read soda stains.

PERFECT!!!

[Julesisme1]

This worked very well on small stains. I then tried it on a high-traffic area (after much elbow grease) and it faded it but didn't come out altogether. But thx, this is still very helpful !!

[cutienrem09]

would this work on older juice stains ? love the video thankyou

[iSK8FrEaK7777]

umm well i just spilled brown soup.. and its on white carpet. Should i use ur tip to clean my white carpet? Please reply quick.. my parents are gonna kill me... :P

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

In short, Yes!!!!! Get to work, Don't try to get it all at once a little at a time+++Bob Let me know how it worked.

[iSK8FrEaK7777]

well. it helped ALOT. but i still see stains. what should i do?

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

One more time and try a bit more dishwashing liquid and ample rinse+++Bob

[xmusicluva4evax]

WHat if your carpet is oldish and its been used alot and something like that happens and it turns out that that part of the carpet is more clean then the hole floor what do u do?

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

Clean the whole floor with carpet cleaner first!+++Bob

[LEDFOOT49]

how did you figure out my website?

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

I did not know you have one. What would I search to find it?+++Bob

[LEDFOOT49]

folex is a carpet spotter it's been around since apx 1945 or so. you can find it at home depot or smart and final and sometimes target , and never in special.

[LEDFOOT49]

cool i never tried a heat transfer without an oxidizer, cool tip, the only diference that i would do is rinse it out with a alkaline nutralizer using my truck mount, maybe it will work alot better if you use folex instead of dish washing soap less residue an acid rinse will make it dry alot faster, tip from a certified textile cleaner . good luck.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

I bet you would have alot of tips to share,I know I would like to spruce up the furniture around my house.Thanks for the post,by the way what is folex?+++Bob

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

No cleaning products to plug,wish I had one though! LOL +++Bob

[seenontv101]

Great video Bob! Thanks for posting this...Not many willing to do videos of how to clean up dog vomit...and if they do they want to plug their own cleaning products.

[WaterbugDesign]

"Pets, kids or Construction Workers" LOL Yes, all, very hard to house break. But to be fair, pets and kids are at least willing to learn. ;-)

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

This comment is sooooo true! I cannot tell you how many times I have had to tell helpers and subs to please" STAY ON THE DROPS OR RUNNERS!"Only to have to say it again,again,again! Lol +++Bob Do you think it's legal to take a paper to them?

[WaterbugDesign]

Construction workers sure...but holy cow, never on a pet of course.

[arlingn]

I tried this on all the tough stains on our carpet and it removed them all so easily. Thank you so much for sharing the tip!

[Laughter116]

Where can I find myself a man who cleans up dog vomit? I didn't think that they existed!

Great job, and thanks for the lesson!

[chucklestheclow59]

your Awesome.. thank you Bob

[chucklestheclow59]

Love the videos and always get great information from them. How do I get to the Home channel you are talking about. Thanks in advance

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

Your home channel is chucklestheclown mine is homeremodelworkshop whereever you see homeremodelworkshop in blue is a link to my homechannel where all my videos are together in one spot+++click on the blue homeremodelworkshop+++ Bob

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

I never talked to anyone that actually has a SHAMWOW.You think they are worth getting?Or are they a good gift to get but you would'nt buy one yourself?+++Bob

[aquapro1]

Bob when it comes to the blotting I have used the Shamwow towels I got as a present last Christmas and they are awesome for getting up everything. Keep up the videos I've used a few in my own home remodel repairs. Thanks and have a good 2009!!!

[243WW]

Fantastic tip Bob! Love your work.

[techparts4U]

Excellent tips and well presented, it takes time but the results are well worth it.

[hammerofharpel]

Amazing technique and I am going to try it because carpet is evil and it's main design is to trap dirt.

[mre7472]

Very nice!!! I wish I knew about this along time ago!!! Thanks Bob:)

[kite973]

That's a really interesting and cost effective method. Thanks for the great tips!

[sumbook]

Thanks bob.. although my home is fully tiled .. I got rid of all the wall to wall carpet.. but.. it is yet another nice tip from you ..

Thanks again.. and keep them coming :)

[handidrummed]

Now that's cool, I'll have to give this a try. I absolutely hate our living room carpet as it gets stains just from you looking at it wrong. I love your videos, I've learned so much. Thanks!
