SYNTHETIC CARPET WITH SLIME GUIDE

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


Step 1: Pre-Cleaning

  • Identify the stain and carefully abrade or score the surface using sandpaper or a knife.

  • Take care not to damage the carpet fibres—only treat the stain solids.


Step 2: Apply Solvent Spotter

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

  • Emulsify the stain gradually.

The stain will break down and transfer into the towel bit by bit.


Step 3: Repeat as Required

  • Steps 2–3 may need to be repeated until the stain is fully emulsified and removed.


Step 4: 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 5: Protective Coating

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

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