    As you're in the U.K. try phoning Prochem on 0181 (this is the old code for outer London numbers, you will need the new code) 974-1515. The specialise in carpet cleaning chemicals for professionals. Good luck, pete.

    I've had good luck with most everything on carpet using denatured alcohol. Try it in an out of the way place first.
