I use cobb dye remover as of right now, but I've used red 1 by cti and it worked well. Another choice of the boards is the red remover product from vac-away.

I'll be the first of many that will say red vanish from vac a way. You beat me Tim, I guess I'll be the second.

Had three brands on the truck once when I had several red stains on a job. Cobb's worked the best.

 

[cmaster]

Cobb's or VacAway's. Both have worked well for us.

Lately we've been using Red Zone from BP, it has worked the best for us.

great results with red zone.

Same as above. Larry seems to do the same stain removal like I do; I use a alcohol(1 ounce), 1 Teaspoon Tide sensitive skin, and cold water to blot clean as possible applying all the pressure I can. Then iron on a moist towel on low for about 5 to 15 min.

"Someting that will work everytime."


there is no such thing that works "everytime" on "every" red stain.
(short of LarryB's mention of a knife)

some will disappear completely,
most can be improved using steam/heat, ranging anywhere from a little to almost completely gone
and a few just won't budge

..L.T.A.

i have cobbs dye stain remover on both trucks..it is a awesome product, you cant go wrong with it

 

[Larry B]

After all the posts about the vacaway stuff now I must try it.

Been wanting to try Red Zone...is it a two parter?

 

[J Scott W]

Yes, RedZONE is a two-parter. Simply to use. No mixing, no special sprayer. Apply part A, then apply part B.

Will it work every time? Absolutely not. A lot depends on the condition of the carpet - How old? How well protected? What fiber? etc.

It did work better than the #1 product in our industry for red stains.

Crap, speaking of which.
I gotta get the hell outa here.
This damn board will take every minute of my day if I let it.

Damn you Mr. Mikey.....Damn you I say. :?

If there is no clue as to what the spot is- I start out with Red One. If I don't get desired results- I then move on to Stain Magic. If even more attention is needed I then move on to Red Relief and steam with at white terry towel.
