How to Remove Toner from Carpet
Toner from copy machines and printers can fall through exhaust ports and out cooling fans, causing a spot on the carpet. This spot is also caused by spillage when changing the toner cartridge.
Basic Method
- Vacuum up as much of the dry toner as possible. It is best to use a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner to prevent toner from blowing out of vacuum exhaust.
- Mix Matrix Tri-Foam Shampoo at 16 oz per gallon of COLD water. The cold water will help prevent the toner from bonding to the fibers.
- Use the foam only and work from the outside in with a brush, being careful not to spread the toner around.
- Rinse shampoo with cold water.
- If a slight toner spot remains, apply Matrix Red Be Gone by mixing equal parts solutions A & B. Apply with a trigger sprayer and agitate.
- Place a damp clean white towel over the spot and apply and a steam iron set at the lowest heat setting over the treated area. Check for color transfer every 10–15 seconds. Be careful not to remove actual carpet color.
- Rinse and extract the treated area, and dry thoroughly.
Warning: Follow label directions and never mix product unless specified in the label directions.
