Stain Removal Help

Long story short, my yeti turned over and dumped tea all in the floor. Luckily, I was able to soak most of it up within 30 minutes. I am left; however, with the stain outline. I've been using all purpose Tuff Stuff to remove what was left. It took me 2+ just to get it to look faded even with a brush. Now, what do you guys recommend to take out the rest? It's nothing serious. It just drives me crazy when I look down and tell something has been there. I tried to take pics this evening, but it's not very clear on camera. Someone suggested shaving cream will remove the stain? Any advice?

 

Check the detailing forum.

I wouldn't use shaving cream.

 

I meant to post this in the detailing, my bad. Guess the fumes from the Tuff Stuff is getting to me

 

I used simple green to get a coffee stain off of my seat maybe that would work,

 

Buy a new carpet

 

Take it to a detailer.

 

Try folex instant carpet spot remover.

 

I used some chemical guys nonsense cleaner on my truck with a great outcome doing a 40/60 mix with water.

 

I usually spray the area heavily with Simple Green and let it sit a few minutes. Then I fill a small bucket with very warm water and dish detergent. Use a rag or brush and work the area and then dry as thorough as possible...repeat if necessary. Then protect your carpet with good mats.

 

Give this stuff a try:

It's enzyme based (made for pet stains). I've used it on soda, food, and salt stains (on my mats from winter driving), and it works like a charm. It can be found in your local pet store. It's low odor as well. It's the only product I know of that will actually get rid of cat urine, not just cover it up.

I bought one of these on sale ($100 Canadian) for my Tacoma when I bought it. My interior was kinda gross, and this little thing made it look new. YouTube it, it really works!

 

The guy I got my Taco from had kids... yah, I'm gonna get new carpeting installed as soon as I can.

 

I keep Resolve (believe it has oxycleaner) carpet cleaner in my detailing chemical arsenal. Works just fine and gets coffee stains and salt marks and mud marks out for me. Obviously it works better if you can address the stain immediately, but it does fine for stains that have been sitting for a month as well.

 

Thanks guys, I'm going to try again this morning. If it takes me too long to remove the rest, I'm going to try using some of the simple green.

 

x2 on the Folex-great to have around the house for carpet stains.

 

+1 for Folex

 

This is why I spend $200 on Weathertech floorliners before spending $300 on a cooler...

Give this a shot - purpose designed for automotive carpets:

Sad thing is I have weathertechs, it just seeped underneath

 

For truck and carpet in the house, dump cold water and shop vac it out right away and keep doing that.
