Remove soot from beige carpet?

[Scott]

Hi

Just had two cowboys from yellow pages in to sweep my chimneys so now have a beige carpet covered in soot. Any thing to get it of or should I just bin it? Cheers

Get your household insurance policy out!

Get your money back from the sweeps and then get your house insurance policy out.

Hover out all the dry stuff.

Then use a wet cleaner with carpet shampoo.

I have a Numatic George, circa £180 pounds, but you can buy no-brand wet vac for £40 or less.
