Stelco Instant Paint Remover 5Ltr
Instant Paint Remover is a solvent-based neutral agent that is highly effective for gun-off type paint removal in post-spotting environments where re-cleaning is wanting to be avoided. *Take particular care with colour fastness and always check after the application of the steam gun by testing on an unexposed seam first.

Fresh paint, fast action
Paint removal is a race. Wet paint comes out; cured paint largely does not, and what does come out often takes dye with it. If you are called to a paint spill, get to it the same day.
Method matters more than the product
Apply to a white towel rather than pouring onto the carpet where you can. Work from the outside of the spot inward so you do not spread it. Tamp or agitate gently rather than scrubbing — scrubbing distorts pile and leaves a permanent mark that is more visible than the original stain.
Rinse and extract afterwards. Spotter residue left in the pile attracts soil, and the spot comes back as a dark patch a fortnight later — which the customer reads as your work failing.
Before you use it
Read the safety data sheet for this product and follow it. Solvent-based spotters in particular require ventilation and appropriate gloves — check the SDS for the glove material, because it is not always the same across products.
Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Fibre, dye and backing all react differently, and a spotter that is safe on nylon is not automatically safe on wool or on a solution-dyed synthetic.

Not sure which spotter the stain calls for? Tell us what it is, what the fibre is and what has already been tried, and we will talk it through — the wrong first move on a spot is much harder to recover from than the spot itself.
