One of the most common stains that you will come across as a professional carpet cleaner is red dye. Being able to remove this type of stain will set you apart from the competition and win you customers for life. Read this article and see how easy red dye removal really is and learn why you should ad it to your services.

Red dye removal is a lucrative add on service. It is an easy way to add an extra twenty or forty dollars to a bill and can add much more in extreme cases. The average red dye spot will take you about ten minutes to remove and that includes set up time. If you charge twenty to thirty dollars for this service you are earning $120 to $180 an hour. Sound good, of course it does. To remove red dye you will need three things. You will need a good red dye remover, a steam iron and some terry cloth towels. For the red dye remover I recommend Red Relief from CTI. It is a two part chemical that is very effective.

When you use it you add equal parts of solution A and solution B in a spray bottle. Mix just what you need because it does not last long after it is mixed and will have to be disposed of. You will spray the solution on the red spot and place a damp terry cloth towel over it. Then take your steam iron and turn it on the lowest steam setting. Place the iron over the towel once it is hot. Move the iron every few seconds to avoid burning the carpet. Now pull up the iron and the towel and the spot will more than likely be gone. If it is not you can repeat the process another time. If it still does not come out then the stain is probably permanent. Be sure to explain to your customer before hand that you can not guarantee removal. Now all you have to do is rinse the spot or clean the carpet as normal and you are done.

I hope this article has helped you decide to add red dye removal to your carpet cleaning services. It is an easy add on and one that is in high demand. Good luck to you.
