Wicking fixes????

[Rescue]

I have wicking issues.....Do not know what it originally was. It cleans up well with JJ, but keeps returning. What do you think? Hit it with the Claw until it is bone dry? What product works best for you?????

Put your Defender to work.

Host- If it's wicking , it works every time.Ask Mikey.

It depends on whether you actually want to clean it or just seal it in the backing. If seal it in the backing then take your pick from the above advice. If removing the source is your goal, then use the claw as you first mentioned. Soak scrub dwell and flush like hell and extract.

To add to Rex's, get the homeowners fan and leave it on the area. Preferably a fan you can tilt down. Set on high, tell ho not to walk on it for the rest of the day, cross your fingers.

first off, is it wicking, or a recurring spot?

wicking happens during the drying process and is there the next day

recurring spots are gone the next day and return some weeks or months later


..L.T.A.

Clean it again apply 4 or 5 paper towels on the spot and put something fairly heavy on it,,like a telephone book, the spot will transfer/wick up into the paper towels and ..its gone ..bye.

Like Larry said, Wicking is during drying, If you leave it bone dry it aint wicking..... Reoccurring spot means there is still some residue that is attracting tracked in soils.. Means you didn't get it all..

Now go and "Git er Done"

Use a claw if it is a specific spot or two,otherwise try an acid rinse.

How big of an area is it?

Sounds like more than a few reoccuring spots?

Not likely from the JJ....unless you rinsed with plain water and didn't use the O2 rinse agent...It's always possible to leave some prespray by mistake.

I was wondering if it was spot wicking or all over browning. I've seen some areas by a door keep turning brown for example.
