Help I sprayed Lexol instead of ArmorAll carpet cleaner and now my carpet has a yellow tint to it! What can I do to return the carpet to its original color? I tried the ArmorAll OxyMagic stuff but it only removed it a little bit, you can still see a hint of yellow.

 

Tuff Stuff got most of it out but the area is still darker than the rest of the carpet. Maybe it just needs to dry....

Any other ideas?

 

For stains on rugs I use a product called ''afta'' works great.

You can try going to Lowes and picking up a bottle of Folex. Spray it on and let it soak in. Agitate it a bit. Then if you have a shopvac, use that to extract it.

 

Thats it, the carpet installer at my friends house told us thats all they use. I bought a big container and use it on all my rugs in my house and my truck. Ive been using it for over a year.

 

where do you get afta at?

 

I got it from Ace hardware store.

 

X2 That's what I use. It might take a couple "applications" for the tougher stuff, but it works

 

After letting the carpet dry it looks much better almost identical to the unstained spot. I think I am good! By the way I used what I had, ArmorAll Oxymagic carpet cleaner and Tuff Stuff.

 

Now Folex the whole carpet and finish up with a LGM.

 

what is LGM?

 

Bissel Little Green Machine. Nice unit. Pretty cheap. I think I picked mine up from Best Buy for around $70 or $80. I don't remember.

 

i bought a jug of folex. how would you go about cleaning the whole carpet with it?

 

The way esf said, but to the whole carpet.

My friend has one of the LGMs, but his is with heat, and he swears by it. You can sometimes find the heat one at Walmart.
