1001 is a well known name in most households, synonymous with cleaning ability and stain removal. Well this 1001 Troubleshooter certainly lives up to it's name. It is a carpet and upholstery stain remover.
We have fairly light coloured carpets, not a wise choice really when you use a coal fire and have three grandchildren who always forget to remove their shoes after going outside in the mud!
Nevertheless we are stuck with our carpets as new ones are not very likely in the near future.
I used to try to clean the stains with a little mild detergent or even a solution of washing up liquid, always trying to be thrifty me, I hate buying a product if I think I can manage without :-)
Anyway, forgive my ramblings, I'll get to the point. Having got fed up with little dirty marks all over my carpet, I splashed out on a bottle of this stain remover.
The stains were dried on, so this was the real test, I sprayed the foam on as instructed and worked from the outside to the centre of the stain with a damp (clean) cloth, it really did work!
Directions for use are : For liquid spills blot with a kitchen roll to soak up excess first. For solid residues scrape up excess with a knife first.
It does state on the bottle that heavily soiled areas and long piled carpets may need a second application.
To finish the job, just blot up wetness with kitchen roll and leave to dry.
The product is suitable for wool carpets, but not for velvet or brocade or in fact anything not suited to wet cleaning. Test a hidden area first for colour fastness.
I also advise wearing rubber gloves, as the smell (although quite pleasant) can linger on your hands.
At around £2.00 per bottle, it is an investment and very useful to have in your cupboard for any accidents, good value for money.

I know what you mean about a coal fire, luckily we have dark carpets but a fall of soot the other day meant that we had to chuck the heath rug in the bath! Not nice clearing up after that is it?!
