How do you get shoe polish stains out of the carpet?

Hi

This type of stain is one of the hardest to get out the carpet.

I would recommend using a wet vac and slowly pour hot almost boiling water (from a kettle) on the spot and vacuum it up at the same time, (this will open up the dye ports on the carpet fibre releasing the stain. and remove the residue from the carpet).

If the stain is still visible than try putting Dawn dishwashing liquid (4 or 5 drops into one cup of water) or carpet spotter. Dampen the spot letting it soak on the stain for about 5 minutes and repeat step one. After this you should rinse the area again with the wet vac and hot water. If this doesn’t work try using orange glo or even 409. The most important thing to do is rinse the stain with a wet vac and hot water from a kettle to remove all the reside, or the spot may come back.

Only as a last resort if you have rubbing alcohol Blot the chemical onto the spot and then remove with a towel and repeat, keep on doing this until stain is gone or you stop getting colour transfer. Then rinse the stain with a wet vac and hot water to remove all the reside,

Please be careful with what product you uses (neutral PH carpet cleaning solution is best). Please DO NOT put anything on the carpet that was not made for carpet.

I don't know I use a steam cleaner there is a possible chance that might work. I'm not sure how much they cost now but i got mine for around 150 bucks. If that doesn't work get down on your hands and knees. Glad I could help. Peace!!!!!!!!!

You might try goof off- it great with paint etc,so it might work- try Lowes or Home Depot or Walmart- or a similar product- its a bit smelly but I have never had a problem with it- test a small area first in the closet or something to make sure!

simply dye the carpet the same colour as the shoe polish

voila!!

Same as before . Mean Green,, can purchase it at a Family Dollar Store, or Dollar Store,,, or j ust straight ammonia..
