Spotting – Rust
Introduction
This stain is a reddish-brown that will come in all shapes and sizes and is very common to the on-location carpet cleaner. It is caused by metal reacting to oxygen when moisture is present.
Procedure –
Step 1 – Apply T-Rust directly to the spot
Step 2 – Agitate with a Spotting Brush Give 1-2 minutes of dwell time if needed
Step 3 – Extract chemical from the fibers using extraction machine
Step 4 – Repeat steps 1-3 if rust color is still present
Step 5 – Rinse with water from your extraction machine
Step 6 – Neutralize with a mist of Power Rinse
Step 7 – Dry quickly with an Air Mover
Note : Removal does not actually result in the removal of the reacting metals; rather, it changes the color to clear. It is not necessary to educate the customer on this fact.
