Red 1 and Power Gel without rinsing

**Nightflight** · 04-12-2009, 12:10 PM

Last night there were horrible red stains. Used Red 1 and added Power Gel and it worked with a towel and steam. Never rinsed.
Is the carpet going to be safe? Anything I should know about to come? Should I call the customer and say we need to go back and rinse?

Power gel needs to be rinsed out and leave as dry as possible. Red 1 is a free rinsing product. Power gell without being rinsed may leave a white residue ring.

You solvetns will remain on the carpet and attract soil if they are not rinsed out.

The reducer will continue to work until it has completely evaporated. Depending on the type of fiber and how it was dyed, it may not be a good idea to leave without rinsing. But should be OK on most synthetics.
