Why It’s Important to Leave Rust Removal to the Pros

With rust removal from carpets or upholstery, the success of the job will depend on the type of carpet or fabric that the rust is in, and how long it has been there. The earlier the problem areas are treated the better the results. The products used to remove rust are harsh and will burn skin, so it is best left up to a trained professional like Best 1 Cleaning.  It’s important to wear the appropriate safety gear when using a any rust removal product – this includes eyewear and gloves. One of the main reasons it’s best left to a professional carpet cleaner is that the products used have to be rinsed properly from the carpet, or long term damage to the fibres can occur. This is one of the problems with DIY stain removal. The home owner has no real way of extracting the products they use from the carpet, so the product they spray stays in the carpet and keeps working. Then over time a discolouration of the treated area can occur.  In this video, Best 1 demonstrates how to remove rust in a safe manner. Best 1 thoroughly rinses and deodorises the problem areas after the treatment. We use a special Scrapper designed to be used on carpets and upholstery, to agitate the affected area. If the rust has been in the carpet for some time, then a dwell time is necessary. This allows the product to work on releasing the stain.
