Call Chemdry and get them to do it

Excellent service and excellent company. They are national so will have a branch local. Not bad price either

i used the rug doctor on my cream carpter, as i have 16mth old child, he likes to paint the carpet with food..lol

came up really well

only issue we had was it made it quite damp and smelt damp for a bout 7days, other than that it was ok

he put the heating on after a day or so to help dry it, much better then

maybe we went over the same area a few times, to much, but otherwise very good

The shop on the A30 near Audi's? I get a lot of cleaning stuff from there too, couple of old bum bandits own it

George is great too mate, had one for a while [for cars] and gets thoroughly abused without complaint

Make sure you follow the instruction on the cleaner though as the one we use has to be diluted 80:1 and if you forget, it makes you choke
