  1. Step 1: Blot The Rust Stain Away with a Dry Cloth

    Start by blotting the rust stain with a clean, dry cloth to remove any loose particles. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain further into the carpet fibres.

  2. Step 2: Apply 1001 Carpet Care Shampoo

    Combine 1 part 1001 Carpet Care Shampoo with 6 parts water.

    This ratio ensures a powerful clean without damaging your carpet fibres.

    Apply a small amount of the diluted solution directly onto the rust stain.

    Allow it to sit for a few minutes to penetrate the stain.
