what have you used on these kinds of stains that you had any luck with, i didnt try to atempt this yet this could be a tuff 1 i think it might come back after you i clean it . Thank you all!
Gary,
First ask if the customer has tried to clean it themselves (of course they may not admit it). Then take a clean cloth and dab with the dry solvent to get an idea if it’s going to budge. If nothing, I would leave it alone. If it does then great. If you have a large spot, you can squirt the dry solvent directly on but be ready to flush using the uph. mate. I do several car dealerships that track grease and oil from the service dept and we go around and spot clean the grease spots with solvent using a cloth, then apply FAE and buff with good results. I have found that the solvent doesn’t leave an oily residue like TGP, etc. and gets most oil and grease stains out. If the spot is large or there’s a concrete slab underneath the carpet it may come back but it will most likely be much smaller and may need 1 more extraction. The dry solvent has worked well for me with tar and grease, it is one of the Heaven’s Best lifesavers. Also make sure you work these extras into you original pricing. Good Luck.
Oil spots very greatly. I aggree with above info on small dribbles and smudges. I sometimes run into larger spills such as salad dressing(vegetable oil) spills, gravy(animal fat), or motor oil. If spot is large, don’t forget about our HB product “Portable Extract”. Mix wth HOT water and apply to spill, aggitate, extract. Repeat a couple of times and flush well with warm water. You can rub your fingers on the spot then rub you fingers together to feel if you removed all of the oil as most of the time you cannot tell by looking.
