WOOL GLOSS PAINT REMOVAL GUIDE

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• Use fine sandpaper to gently abrade the surface of the paint stain.

• Important: Only abrade the paint solids; avoid contact with the carpet fibres to prevent damage.

Step 2: Apply Solvent Spotter

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

• Work the solvent into the paint stain to emulsify the paint.

Tip: Avoid saturating the carpet fibres with solvent — focus on the stain only.

Step 3: Transfer Stain

• Use a clean towel to transfer the emulsified paint from the carpet into the cloth.

• Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until the paint is fully emulsified and removed.

Step 4: Rinse Extraction

• Prepare your rinse solution by mixing WS Stain Repel Rinse at 30ml per 10 litres of clean water in your extraction machine.

• Rinse extract the treated area thoroughly to remove all residual solvent and stain residue.

Important:
Make slow, controlled wand passes. For every wet pass, follow with at least two dry passes.
Maintain uniform, straight passes — avoid zig-zagging to prevent pile distortion or “shark’s teeth,” which can become permanent, especially on wool carpets.

Step 5: Re-Apply Protective Coating

• Once the carpet is clean and dry, apply WS Advanced Fabric Stain Protection at a 1:1 dilution.

• This provides a long-lasting dirt and hydrophobic barrier, protecting the carpet from future staining.

• Application can be done wet or dry depending on your preferred method.
