Homeowner Forum / Cleaning / August 2005Plum sauce in the carpet
I've got plum sauce (from a Chinese crispy duck!), in the carpet. I've tried all sorts to get it out, but it never quite lifts. Anybody recommend something either organic (biocarb, lemon, vinegar) or inorganic (acetylene torch!). > I've got plum sauce (from a Chinese crispy duck!), in the carpet.

Depending on the composition of the carpet, a chlorinated hydrocarbon? >> I've got plum sauce (from a Chinese crispy duck!), in the carpet.

Forgot to mention- the carpet is wool. >I've got plum sauce (from a Chinese crispy duck!), in the carpet. I've >tried all sorts to get it out, but it never quite lifts. Anybody recommend >something either organic (biocarb, lemon, vinegar) or inorganic (acetylene >torch!). Try Resolve carpet granules. This is a moist course powder cleaner that is brushed into the carpet, dries, then vacuumed up. Also, I've had good luck with OxyClean on stubborn (nylon) carpet stains--a wool carpet may require some experimentation on scraps or inside a closet first to test for colorfastness. the problem doing what you did was putting cleaner after cleaner on it. had you left it alone, a professional could have gotten it out. i always tell people if it's a red stain (or in your case purple), blot it with a towel and leave it alone. call a professional, once you start adding cleaners to it, it's difficult for anyone to get it out. |
