2 hours on that sob.


Cobbs cARb cleaner
Bridgepoint Gel something or other
CTI Pro Solve Gel
Hand Sanitizer
Butler ultra high pH spot cleaner
Sapphire Tile and Concrete cleaner
Spit
Sweat
Flem

piss and vinegar..



I had to rush back to do the Aaron webinar so I spazzed and didn't get an after shot, but I'd say I got 94.7 percent out after 2 f'n hours

Don't believe Cobb about his Carb Cleaner not bothering the latex foundation...... roops.


Use as little as possible.

I have had perfect success with Oil Flow. Mist then gently vac. Repeat as needed. It can take 50 applications but it takes seconds for each step.

Here's a formula that works pretty we'll for most tough ink...
Start by treating the spot with with CTI's "Ink Out".
If it's persistent, follow up with CTI's "ProSolve gel".
Next treat the previous concoction with CTI's "PowerGel" and rinse thoroughly.
And if there's any residual color from the ink, finish up with CTI's "Red Relief".

We've had good success with IMR... I can't for the life of me remember who makes it.. (having a senior moment)

I spent 12 years in Fendale MI. Still go to Louie's pizza in Hazel Park when I get Back.

I was able to remove one like that a dog had chewed. I got lucky it was white and I used solvent and finished with bleach. Personally I don't bother these days because that volume after hours it might still look bad. The last one I did a small part only to show the finished results and she opted for a patch.

That would be a big patch. Would you take out the whole square around it, or cut out the ink lines?
I'd do a big patch.
If they don't have any extra carpet you swap that piece out with some from a closet. Most people won't care if there is a stain on closet carpet.

How many terry towels did you go thru? :biggrin: We have been packing isopropyl in the spotting kit for the last year, very effective on some inks.

Ya all inks are different but I've had success with red1 so it doesn't migrate, then I start the assorted ink removers stain solv POG. Hand sanitizer in a gel is awesome the alcohol. Kinda rinse repeat pray.

I will hopefully pick up some ink at Mccalla's
