My carpet is stained beyond belief... What can I do?

Question

So our lounge room carpet is trhough fare for business everything. Boots, shoes and all. It is impossible to take shoes off at door as we need them on 24/7 for work (shop is attached to appartment). There are coffee stains, mud stains everything and anything. The land lord will not relpace the carpet or have it cleaned and there is no lease so there is nothing I can do to make him do it. How can I remove these stains without replacing the carpet myself as this will cost alot?

Can I add here that these stains were here when we moved in but did it in such a hurry that didnt get it fixed 1st. As well as the stains we have added in 3 yrs...

Answer 1

If you can't find Folex, try Resolve. Also, document this: Your landlord sounds like the kind of creep who will try to hold onto your deposit for something that wasn't your fault.

Good luck!

Answer 2

try Folex!!!  You buy it at Home Depot for about $4.00 per spray bottle.  It works on everything!!!  I've used it on fresh stains and old stains - it works!

have a look at their website if you need more convincing!

BTW, it's available in gallons, too! ;-)

after you remove the stains, why not try to find a cheap carpet runner or a remant to cover the thourough fare

maybe you could have your landlord pay for the Folex and a carpet runner?

Answer 3

Try steam cleaning,Try to do it once in 6 months so that ur carpet wont get more dirty.
