Advantages: It works!

Disadvantages: Needs patience

Now, i am not a believer in these adverts which show a red wine stain being miraculously and instantly wiped out with a carpet cleaning spray. in reality, you're looking at needed a burgandy carpet at being the only repellant against the dreaed wine spillage. But it could just be that, by accident, i have discovered a cleaner that works.

We moved into our new flat last year, with the horror of a beige carpet in the lounge. I say beige, it is now move of a grotty grey. Anyway, the lovely people who had lived there before left us some cleanig products, including the fabulous 1001 carpet cleaner. So when the man from Telewest came to install out system and leaked a black biro on the carpet, it had a quick call up.

The instructions are very particular - mix the cleaner with water and DAB, don't scrub. So, the usual wave of 'this will never work' swept us but we give it a go. We dabbed and it faded slightly so we dabbed some more and it faded more, and about 7 dabs later, low and behold, the potentially very costly biro legacy had vanished. A miracle. I have never been able to get anything out of carpet before ever.

The stuff is fantastic. It takes perseverance to get heavy stains out - we have since trid it with tea (a tea bag fell out of the bin), spaghetti and mud, and we still have a stainless carpet.

The instructions on the bottle are daunting - dab, don't rub, be gentle, use a specific cloth, but when you see hte results you'll be glad they were.

I thank the kind predecessor to our flat for their generosity in leaving such a wondrous product. 1001, i shall never worry about carpet stains again!!!
