Peanut Butter oil

[Jay_wat]

have a client who had a large glass peanut butter jar,that fell and broke,,and alot of the peanut butter oil soaked into the carpet/pad aprox a 2x2 area. she is not into pulling the carpet up to replace the pad,,

its a reg nylon,cut pile carpet,,

any suggestions??

have thought of using an absorbent material after cleaning the carpet itself.

thanks for any input!

Citrus gel followed by general spotter.

Use a water claw if you have one.

If not just rinse well with hand tool.

i do have a water claw,,,the oil is in the pad.

 

[jcooper]

the oil is in the pad.

Try just cleaning it then put on an encap product. Not sure what else you could do.

Absorb it up with a slice of Wonder Bread.

 

[Ron Werner]

use some protein spotter/degreaser
flood it and water claw it like you would a urine spot. Repeat as necessary

 

[Jay_wat]

will do! thanks for the input!

what Ron said

degreaser and claw


I'll add, when your claw is down extracting, put a naked QD on the end of solution line.
Open the ball valve and drench around the claw .
Run solution as far away from the claw as it will pull..but no farther
(it will suck water from several inches away)

that will help rinse the oil out
you can also use the open flow sol line to re-flood with fresh hot solution and claw again


..l.T.A.

I like the idea of using Absorb a Stain, I'd clean, then pour a little pile of Absorb a Stain on it and see if it will pull some oil out.

It might be difficult since the oil likes the carpet so much but it would be worth the try. If it does work then you'd only need to clean off the tips of the fibers.
