"I enjoy recommending Rug Doctor products to clients because, number one - I've used them myself, I know they work. Clients have used it; they've got back to me and have really been very pleased with it "
Rug Doctor takes a different approach to stain clean-up from all other products claiming "one solution does it all" effectiveness. At Rug Doctor we know one-solution cleaning is impossible, because different stains attach themselves in different ways to carpet fibres and require specific solutions for effective removal.
Rug Doctor's line of specialised cleaning products helps you keep your carpets and upholstery spotless. Use the following stain guide to find the best solution for your specific stains.
Scrape off as much wax as possible with a spatula or spoon. If wax is deeply embedded, cover with a white cloth and apply iron on low setting to cloth. Wax will transfer to cloth. Any remaining residue can be removed using Spot Remover.
