How to Remove Rust from Carpet
Rust residue embedded in carpet can be caused from metal items sitting on damp carpets. After cleaning, we recommend placing plastic tabs or foam blocks under all furniture items to prevent stains from occurring.
Basic Method
- Apply rust remover undiluted and work in with a bone spatula.
- Rinse carpet with extraction detergent.
Warning and Cautions: Always test material for colorfastness, follow label directions, and never mix product unless specified in the label directions.
