Joined Oct 16, 2006 Messages 4,061 Name Jeffrey Scott Warrington Most common cause for foam blocks to "melt" is they come in contact with solvent. Maybe a spotter used to remove a spot under the furniture was not rinsed well. Scrape off what ever you can with bone spatula, knife blade or other scraper. Work on any remaining with volatile dry solvent. Much easier to avoid than to get it off the carpet after it has melted. Be sure to rinse non-volatile solvents with a volatile solvent. Rinse all solvents with hot water. Scott Warrington John Olson

Joined Oct 9, 2006 Messages 733 John, that patchmaster pro is one of the biggest pieces of crap I ever bought. It is disappointing to see you are still selling it. I emailed the company that makes them about how disappointed I was with it(months ago). I thought maybe it was just that the original design was poorly made and that they would make it right but they didn't even respond back. RRoyal Man

I had to re-clean several jobs where Chem-Dry melted the blocks into the carpet. I don't know how they accomplished It . Likely there were many more carpets left in that condition. I scraped off what I could then remove the rest carefully with a solvent. Good luck!

As usual, Scott W is right on. Not really that difficult. I had one from a previous cleaner, solvent an a shark made short order of it!

Other than that, it looks like it's much better than a cookie cutter for patches. And we won't even talk about butt seaming berbers. JJohn Buxton

I did that ONCE. A little liqui-gel on a spot under a furniture leg and I didnt rinse it well enough. It came out no problem. Another lesson learned. EErnie G

The white blocks are more prone to melting than the more dense blue blocks. You must log in or register to reply here. Share: Facebook WhatsApp Email Share LinkPicture of the Day!
