    .. had a rat nasty house in a decent area. When I got there I knew it would be tough. And it was! Heres how it went;

    1)Prespotted with Red Vanish
    2)Prespotted with PIG
    3)Prespotted with Citrus gel
    4)Prespotted with Citrus gel spotter plus (removes color,gotta be careful)
    5)Presprayed w/butyl
    6)Rinsed w/detergent
    7)Finished with Crayola

    No electricity so I did not prescrub/prevac or iron out stains. took my time and it looked very presentable. Gonna cost them ,lol.:D

    i just used red vanish on 3 red stains that has been sat on the carpet for a couple of months, and they have not used anything on it to get them out. I squirted some red vanish on those red stains and went back out to the truck to get a iron, but when i got back the spots were gone! This doesnt happen this often, but I couldnt believe it! :)

    Hard color sticks that can cover bleach and other permanant stains. They can be ironed in for a more durable application. I could get more technical but I won't.


    They are CRAYONS. :p Quality ones you find in an art store are preferred though.

    No eye man, not a joke. Crayons can be a simple solution to a bleach spot. Try it sometime.

    I'm seriously not trying to sound rude, but why should I when I can dye it with actual carpet dye? Is it permanent? Cause I can steam clean crayon out of carpet with no chemical. I think you guys are pulling a fast one!

    I don't doubt it can be done. It just seems to me it would clean out the next time someone cleans the carpet.
