This kit contains everything in one professional kit to remove: permanent inks, organic dyes, synthetic dyes, cosmetics, paint, protein spills, food, rust, gum, adhesives, and MORE! Spot Stop stops wicking, drives residues under the fibre, prevents re-soiling, and removes the odour.

Choosing a spotter by stain type

Spotting failures are almost always a chemistry mismatch, not a technique problem. The pH of the spotter has to suit what you are removing.

Stain Chemistry Product
Protein — blood, milk, vomit, egg, food Alkaline, pH 10.5 Protein Spotter
Rust Acidic, pH 4.5, no neutralising needed T-Rust
Coffee and tea Acidic, pH 4–4.5, applied hot Coffee Stain Remover
Red food dye, cordial, sports drink Neutral, pH 7–7.5 Red Zone Ready
Mixed or unknown organic and synthetic dyes Oxidising system Stain Zone
Chewing gum, tar, oily spots Citrus solvent gel Gel Break
General purpose, wide range Solvent-based Avenge Stain Remover

Finish with a residue rinse. Professional-strength spotters leave residue that attracts soil and can wick back. Spot Stop neutralises alkaline residue and lays down an encapsulating polymer, which is what stops the mark reappearing a week later.

Frequently asked questions

Why did the spot come back?

Two usual causes. Either contamination remains below the surface and has wicked back up as the carpet dried, or spotter residue has been left in the pile and is attracting soil. A residue rinse with Spot Stop addresses the second; the first needs proper extraction of the affected area.

Can I use an alkaline spotter on any stain?

No. Alkaline spotters suit protein. On rust or coffee they achieve nothing and can set the stain. Match the chemistry to the stain — see the table above.

Do I need to neutralise after spotting?

After alkaline spotters, yes. T-Rust is the exception — Bridgepoint state it requires no neutralising and rinses with clear water. In general, leaving a professional-strength spotter in the pile without rinsing creates a resoiling problem where you solved a stain problem.

Will these damage wool or natural fibre?

Check the label before use. Several of the oxidising products are specified for synthetic carpet and fabrics only and are not recommended for natural fibres. Test in an inconspicuous area on anything you have not treated before.

Is the documentation Australian?

The safety data sheets for the seven chemicals in the kit are Australian editions issued by Aberford Holdings (the importer, trading as Carpet Cleaners Warehouse), prepared from the manufacturer's US editions. The cleaning guide is the manufacturer's North American edition, provided for technical reference.
