    Do most use the red dye process for these?

    If I remember correctly, wood stain remover is the ideal product for mustard. Have heard french’s yellow mustard is supposedly the worst to get out out of the mustards available. Have also heard that placing a UV light over a mustard stain for at least 6 -12 hrs may possibly lighten it, although I don’t know what it would do to the carpet fibers that don’t have mustard on them. Could alter them as well, and frankly, who has 6 hrs to sit there and see if/when this works?

    You’re right. I just got done flipping back through the manual and it says that wood stain remover is an option. Thanks.

    Let us know how it went. I thought that mustard stains just don’t come out.

    It actually came out pretty well. The customer had a hard time finding the two spots. It is a light colored carpet and now that the mustard stain is about 95% gone it is almost invisible unless you know where to look. The only thing is that the carpet fibers that were cleaned have lost some of their structural integrity and seem to be fairly frayed to me. The customer doesn’t see it that way at all though and even called me up to have me clean a few dining room chairs due to how impressed they were of the job that I did. The dining chairs cleaned up great, the carpet is cleaned beyond their expectations and we both go home winners. I guess that I’m still a little too critical of my own work. Maybe that’s a good thing as it may help me keep my edge. 8)
