SYNTHETIC CARPET WITH RANDOM OIL BASED STAIN GUIDE

Note: This is a salvage method. Mineral solvents may cause delamination of the carpet backing or remove glued-down tufts.


Step 1: Apply Solvent Spotter

  • Apply Solvent Spotter – Stain Remover via a spray trigger or white cotton terry towel.

  • Emulsify the make-up stain carefully.

The stain will break down and gradually transfer into the towel.


Step 2: Repeat as Required

  • Repeat Step 1 as necessary until the stain is completely emulsified or transferred out of the carpet fibres.


Step 3: Rinse Extraction

  • Prepare your rinse solution by mixing High Performance Rinse at 30ml per 10 litres of clean water.

  • Rinse extract the carpet slowly and methodically using your cleaning wand.

Tip: For every wet pass, follow with at least two dry passes.
On polypropylene and polyester carpets, zig-zagging or “shark’s teeth” will not permanently disrupt the pile, but for a professional finish, maintain a uniform pass pattern.


Step 4: Protective Coating

  • To make future make-up removal easier, apply WS Advanced Fabric Stain Protection at 1:1 dilution.

  • This provides a long-lasting dirt and hydrophobic barrier and can be applied wet or dry.
