    Antifreeze on carpet

    Hey people. My heater core cut loose in my van. Now, there is antifreeze on the rug. Knowing I have to remove the jute behind it, what would be good to clean it up with? Thanks

    Re: Antifreeze on carpet

    i`d just try a good cleaning with dawn to start with. that stuff does have a pretty oily base. might have to step it up to a degreaser.

    surface clean with BLACKFIRE All-In-One All Purpose Cleaner and extract if possible.
    You will need to lift the carpet and dry what leaked through and either dry out or replace the jute.
