REMOVING ICE MELT FROM CARPET:
Tracking ice melt can severe damage to carpet - tracking in dirt, destroying carpet fibers and increasing wear.
Ice melt is tracked onto carpet during the winter months from shoes and boots. The heaviest buildup is usually in the entry areas of a house or building and appears white and crusty. This residue is not easily removed with normal cleaning detergents. In fact, alkaline detergents make the problem worse.
On rugs, ice melt can lead to dry rot issues.
On carpets, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride ice melt attracts dirt on carpets and is hard to remove by normal cleaning.
Calcium chloride ice melt is hygroscopic (draws moisture) and turns to calcium hydroxide (lime) when you try to clean with an alkaline detergent. The white powder from calcium chloride ice melt will very quickly track throughout a building and, since it is hygroscopic, causes severe soiling. Quick removal is important!
STEPS to REMOVE ICE MELT and WATER RINGS from CARPET:
1. Remove all mats.
2. If dry, thoroughly vacuum first.
3. Apply Brown Out® ice melt residue remover at normal concentration. Brown Out is on the acid side, dissolves calcium chloride without turning it to lime.
4. Extract the carpet or rug with Brown Out.
5. For large carpeted areas, extract with at least 4-8 ounces per gallon solution of Brown Out in water (with no detergent) through the base unit or a portable extractor.
6. At this point, you can do normal extraction cleaning.
WATER SOFTENER LEAK SPOT & STAIN REMOVAL from CARPET & RUGS:
1. Water softener salt is simply sodium chloride, which is totally soluble in water.
2. Simply extract with plain hot water.
3. Do not use detergent, because that would just add to the residue in the backing and pad.
4. Use MediClean® Disinfectant Spray or Sporicidin Disinfectant Solution® to prevent mold and mildew.
