If it's not one thing it's another

[Ken692]

You know the drill, I get ready I have everything I think I need, and I'm hit with what looks like a glue trap stuck in 8 spots, oh man! I tried to get as much of it as I can, but I still have some stuck in the fibers. I'm thinking I need to go back with some goo gone,
Any suggestion on what to do ??

 

[Scott S.]

gum gel.

 

[Mikey P]

Goo Gone is an orange rind solvent...may not be strong enough


I'd never be with out Cobb's Stain Solve (carb cleaner) and CTI ProSolve Gel

 

[hogjowl]

Why not just buy carb cleaner?

 

[Mikey P]

Do you want your customers seeing you spraying carb cleaner on their Smart Strand?

 

[hogjowl]

Do yours watch you clean?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

White duct tape for the can.

 

[Old Coastie]

Lee you just got nominated for the Daily Dixie Duct Tape award.

If it is a sticky trap oil will remove it if my memory serves me right. Something like olive oil not motor oil.

Stain Solv is NOT the same as "carb cleaner"

Ok Ed.

Today I had a pet stain, nothing I tried. Spot remover, rust away. Pretreat spray. Stain remover.
I did not try fels naphtha (didn't have my truck with me)
It's kind of pissing me off (see what I did there)

 

[dgardner]

Cobb's Stain Solv is "100% Solvent Cleaner is Quick-Evaporating Solvent Blend, Which Leaves No Residue"

Carb Cleaner is "100% Solvent Cleaner is Quick-Evaporating Solvent Blend, Which Leaves No Residue"

Therefore Cobb's Stain Solve = Carb Cleaner. My logic is irrefutable.....

JK Larry!

If goo gone doesnt work I use banes safety solve since I have several gallons of it.

Pet stains get osr first. If that doesnt work I may try molecular modifier or just stain magic. Depends on the situation.

I agree-- but warning-- don't use OSR on wool or other natural fibers. If the customer is Pregnant-- maybe refrain from Molecular Modifier and Odorzyme (weaker version of MM)-- only because those women have extremely sensitive sense of smell-- and they are hormonal ( euphemism for Moody, Needy, emotional and less logical)-- we use 40 vol because it has no odor.--

Don't over saturate what ever solvent you use don't wsntt I make a hole.

Also use 40 vol but stains don't always just disappear they fade with time.
