vaseline removal from carpet

[Captain Morgan]

Hi Guys,

Got a call from a lady needing to get a jar of vaseline removed from her bedroom carpets. She thinks they are nylon but not positive. She blamed it on her toddler but I don't believe her for a second j/k

I've looked through my CTI stain guide and haven't found anything but I'm assuming because its a petroleum based product I could use a solvent or pro solve? She tried to remove it herself and smeared it all over pretty good. I haven't seen it but I'll be heading over there tomorrow to check it out. I'll try to call CTI in the morning but wanted to see if anyone here ever ran across this before.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,
Bill Morgan

Bill, whatever you use for oil based spots (citrus solv, etc) will take care of it and rinse, rinse, rinse with good heat.

never tried to clean any
But here's a list of ingredients

after you scrape as much off as possible (if the homeowner hasn't already smeared it all over)
I'm thinking a good strong degreaser and thorough hot water flush/extract will do it

but again, i donno..and will defer to Forsysthe and Cobby


..l.T.A.

That was a glossary of ALL Vasoline product ingredients.

how does an entire jar of vaseline end up on the floor?
wait a minute we probably don't want to know.

Got any Dawn liquid soap?. They use it on birds after an oil spill.

With that much Vasoline on the carpet.
