Carpet and upholstery spotting (wipe)
- Open the lid. Make a small hole in the centre of the lid seal and pull the wipe from the centre of the roll through the small X.
- Pull wipes at a 90° angle (parallel to the ground) from the container and close the lid.
- Test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the suitability of the product on the surface.
- Remove any debris or excess stain deposits.
- Wipe and agitate the surface to be treated by hand. Or, for carpet, place the wipe/s over the stain and while standing up use your shoe to agitate the stain away with downward twisting pressure. This means you hardly ever have to bend your back. Ensure your shoe has grip and your body is always balanced.
- Turn the wipe to an unused section (or use a fresh one) for a final wipe. A circular motion removes most dirt and grime fast.
- Repeat the process if necessary.
- Dispose of the used wipe into general waste.
Handy tips
- Always test first in an inconspicuous area before using any cleaning solution. Play it safe, especially when you use a product for the first time. Better to be safe than sorry. Some surfaces can be sensitive to moisture and particular chemical types.
- Attend to spots and spills as soon as possible. Fresh spots are significantly easier to remove. Stains that are left too long can become permanent. Using the wrong product can also set the stain or permanently damage the fibre.
- Do your stain removal work from the outside of larger stains to the inside. This prevents the stain from spreading.
- Very rarely will any stain removal system resolve staining problems on carpets fibres and fabrics that are permanently damaged and discoloured.
What stains are Houdini Wipes for?
Stains caused by foods, drinks, cosmetics, oils, organics, pets and some inks.
Will Houdini Wipes remove every stain?
No. No one product removes every carpet stain. This product is part of a complete professional stain removal system, so it helps to know how each product works.
My stain won't come out. What should I do?
There are two options. The stain may be permanent damage that needs repair or replacement, because not all stains can be removed. Or progress to the next level of stain removal. See XO2's 'how to remove carpet stains' charts for how specialty removers such as Houdini, Dry Safe, Wizz King and Browning Treatment work together.
Why use wipes instead of a liquid?
- Wipes are ready to use, so there's no mixing, no leaks and no spill risk.
- They're lightweight and easy to store, they don't need a chemical mixing station, and each one is single use, so you replace it when it's soiled.
- Wipes also take compliance work off your plate: they don't create plumbing compliance work (no more regular inspections of mixing stations) and there are no ongoing label compliance issues on bottles.
- Staff have more energy and less fatigue, and happy and safe staff clean better.
- You get improved cleaning and hygiene levels, reduced workers comp claims and absenteeism, and lower labour costs, because you just pull a wipe and clean instead of attaching a chemical concentrate to a mixing station, filling bottles, and spraying and wiping again and again.
- Wipes also help prevent RSI (wrist issues) from spray triggers, and prevent breathing and respiratory issues caused by spraying chemicals that create mists.
How do I get a wipe out of the tub?
- Open the lid.
- Make a small hole in the centre of the lid seal and pull the wipe from the centre of the roll through the small X.
- Pull wipes at a 90° angle (parallel to the ground).
- Close the lid.
What's the shoe method?
Place the wipe or wipes over the stain and, while standing up, use your shoe to agitate the stain away with downward twisting pressure. You hardly ever have to bend your back. Make sure your shoe has grip and your body is always balanced.
Can I use Houdini Wipes on wool?
Yes. You can use them on delicate fibres like wool and on all types of carpet, including 5th-generation nylon. They're safe on almost every washable or wettable fabric, but test on a small inconspicuous area first.
Do I need to rinse afterwards?
No. The anti-resoiling encapsulation technology means they don't need rinsing and won't leave soiled or sticky residues behind that cause re-soiling.
