Heat transfer method

[vincent]

How many times do you try a spot before you give up?

 

[RGH269]

Two, if it is happening often it could be the potency of your product may be diminished.

 

[Vivers]

Keep product in a cool ,ace and make sure it's not old. Also towel should only be damp, not soaking. Depends on what your using and what the spot is also. Organic or synthetic?

 

[Royal Man]

If you are talking about red removal it is only for synthetic stains.

Don't mix the product and it will last longer. Just put a spray nozzle into each bottle.

If you use a steamer (instead of an iron) no towel is needed.

It really is not transferring the stain.

(Even if some is going into the towel)

The spot is made invisible to the eye by a chemical process that is accelerated by heat.


You can still find B&D steamers/strippers on E-bay even though they quit making them in the 80s

if your question was how long do you keep trying to iron out a spot..

i use white towels and as long as i am getting transfer i keep up the process..once the

towel comes up solid white i am done because the spot is gone or not responding anymore..

The steamer Shorty mentioned is a good tool for Red Stain Removal.

Larry, I have two questions about that steamer. Does it take as long to heat up as one of the wallpaper ones and how come they are so expensive? I use a Wagner power steamer basicly the same thing only around $50. But I think yours looks more professional, it's not something a customer would see in a home improvement store.

Larry, SORRY, I was not aware that you carried those.


Bobby, from cold start to using it is very quick, probably about thirty seconds, after that, a matter of seconds from flicking the switch.


ONLY problem I have with mine is the size & weight of the converter I need to carry around due to the 110/220 volt difference.

Because of the weight and size, I have it in a milk crate on a collapsible trolley that I wheel into each job.

The steamer sits in a smaller plastic box on top of the converter, still within the confines of the milk crate.

I use a towel when doing heat transfer, BUT only to cool the fibers after each steam application, not during the actual steam process.

Shorty.

Those steamers look really cool. Seems like a much easier and more professional looking way to do it.

What Dave Gill said


if I'm not getting ANY improvement within the first 20-30 seconds with iron and towel ...there's no reason to continue.
cause it ain't gonna budge


..L.T.A.

SOLD... Is there any way to fix them when you run regular water through them?

 

[Royal Man]

I have had luck with running vinegar through them.

It is very important to use distilled water in them for trouble free operation.

A buck a gallon.

 

[everfresh1]

This is what I use, they work great. Just apply the redout, set this over the stain, after giving it couple of minutes to heat, up you can clean other areas of the carpet and come back to it. no risk of burning only $50 or $60 at Home depot..People still use Irons? :roll:

I used to hate food dye spots until I started using this method. The best thing about it is you can apply the remove cover it with the plastic dome, and let it set a minute while you continue cleaning. Anyone who tries this method will thank me later :mrgreen:
