Have a brown stain and cant remove it with nothing

**zgoalscorer** · 02-12-2011, 11:28 PM

In a previous post I had a brown stain from rust of a weight but this brown stain is about 8 inches long and an inch or so wide. I have no idea of what it is from. Carpet was presprayed with biokleen apc, extracted with biokleen carpet and upholstery shampoo and it was still there. I tried folex, bac out, and a product from eurosteam called vapormate and still the stain is there. Guys what is your go to guy? If you have a stain and you know this will take care of it, what would it be. Please help here..... Thanks

Its easy to do but don`t use crayons. Real dye comes in a can like spray paint. A few popular colors are carried by most auto parts stores but if you want a true match, contact a local Car Brite, Auto Magic, or other chemical rep. They will give you a color chart. Match your carpet up with the right color. Then all you have to do is LIGHT coats until the spot is covered. I like to use a brush in between costs to ensure the carpet gets dyed all the way through. Don`t use regular spray paint or crayons. Paint will make the carpet stiff and crayon will turn to goo.

Indeed. Or any body shop supplier should carry SEM carpet dye.
