Had a custy call and dog chewed up ball point pen. 3 Small spots.
They instantly sprayed Arm and Hammer OXY fresh bathroom cleaner on it which made it spread then followed up with 409!..How's that for a combination!
Called ServiceMaster of Central Iowa(Been in the family for 3 generations) whom I have taken a few restaurants and quite a bit of work from them in 5 years and are kind of loud mouths. They said it was too cold (-11) with wind chill to run the truck mount hoses so they brought in pixie dust in a spray bottle with a towel. Sprayed it on and custy watched it spread even more. Sorry m'am but we can reccommend someone to patch it from closet.
They called flooring store who said the last resort would be some kind of chemical used in dry cleaning that could ruin carpet???
ServiceMaster called back and said what would you like to do?? Custy says we got guy comin from Best Vacuum Store; heard he can work miracles. ServiceMaster says "If he gets it out, call us back and tell us what he used." Hahaha!!!!!!
I tried everything from Hel Gel to PIG out to OINK to Cyclone and Spot n Boost, Git-Go and Solvent to Aerosol Hairspray to Red Vanish, Stain Zone(which said for pigment dyes? Ink?, Fels Gel, to Sodium Bisulfite etc etc. Ammonia..Magic Bullet...Pretty much everything Spent almost 2 hours on spotting with hand tool and going spotter by spotter..Treating and rinsing.
Lightened quite a bit but not all the way out.
Treated with Stain Zone and packed with Host. Said vacuum in AM and I'll be back tomorrow. I know alot are against Host and like covering 40 Vol with Plastic but I have had soooo much sucess with Red Vanish and/or Stain Zone in conjuction with Dry powder on anything from coffee spills to 10 year old gatorade. 2 or 3 times with treatement/powder and its almost always gone. Alot of times with 1 treatment/powder.
Is Stain Zone good for ink dyes? Should I have used something different than all the things I tried. I let each one dwell for at least a couple minutes. Hel Gel, Magic Bullet and Stain Zone seemed to be the ones I thought that were making the biggest difference.
Thanks dudes and dudettes.
Will post results tomorrow on powder.
