Question

Anybody no how to get undercoat out of a carpet?

Answer 1

Alot of elbow grease.

Answer 2

Depends whether it is a water based or oil based undercoat, and also will depend on the material your carpet is made of.

A good detergent and a lot of patience will get water based out, but will clean that part of the carpet. For oil based, use a product on the market, designed to clean paint brushes (not turps) one that rejuvenates dried on paint on brushes, but check it won't melt your carpet first!!

Answer 3

Go into :  tipking.com and put in your question, it's a site that helps with most of the ways in which you can sort out  'tips' on accidental spillages, stains etc.

Hope it helps you

Answer 4

Oh dear! Needs detergent to break it down. 1001 cleaner or just washing up liquid. If it's dried turps might help or might not.

Answer 5

Let undercoat dry then very lightly go over with a wire brush, so you are breaking it down slowly and hover as you go. This method does work I have used it myself but it does take a time.
