    Carpet installer at a new hotel due to open in 4 weeks stepped in carpet glue and walked across the new carpet leaving a perfect boot print! Any suggestions? I assume TGP first with a good flush. Has anyone come across this before?

    I have. Lady had a runner down with that sticky tape on the bottom. It was pretty bad. I used TGP and it worked great.

    Dry solvent is the product I try first. It works best if you can get at it quick. TGP works very well. First, scape off as much as you can and/or break it up into as small of particals as you can. Use a light mist and let it dwell. Repeat if necessary. Always be sure not to let TGP get to the base of the carpet and flush completely.

    Yup TGP followed by Pro spotter to remove TGP residue

    Dennis,
    I always flush TGP really well with 101. Didn’t realize TGP left a residue that required Pro-Spotter. I feel Pro-Spotter needs to be flushed out with water to prevent it from leaving a residue. I use Pro-Spotter as little as possible because of the time it takes to rinse it out. It ranks right up there with liquid soap.

    OK, what is the official word on Pro-spot? Does it or does it not leave a residur? 🙄

    How do you mix pro spotter? This mix is in my notes from corp. training.

    Pro Spotter for me has been 2 ounces Citrus, 2 ounces 101 and a tiny amount of Quick Boost with the rest water.

    I think that sounds about right. My usual mix is ~4 ounces #101 the rest water. Sometimes I’ll add a little #102.
    If that’s not working then I try a VERY TINY amount of TNT(heavy on the tiny)

    I mix mine 4 oz 101 4 oz citrus boost and fill with water. If needed I will use a different mix. I too used the 1/3 because of training, but then I realized not all spots require such a heavy mix. So now I use a standard 4/4 mix and adjust as necessary.

    The third/third/third mixture is probably only neccessay in the worst of the worst situations. For regular, everyday nasty stuff, a mixture more along the lines of these is all you need.
    As always,
    YMMV
