1. Is the tuba by emsal Carpet foam also suitable for upholstery and car seats?

No, for the removal of stains from upholstery and car seats we recommend to use the tuba by emsal stain spray with the BIOHYGIENIC-formula.

2. Is the tuba by emsal Carpet Foam also suitable for cleaning mattresses?

No. For cleaning mattresses, we recommend to follow the instructions and recommendations of the respective manufacturer.

3. For how many sqm is 1 can of tuba by emsal Carpet foam sufficient?

This depends on the pile density and height of the carpet/rug and the degree of soiling: the higher and denser the pile and the heavier the soiling, the lower the coverage. In the case of normal soiling (e.g. walking streets) of a normal-density carpeting, an average of 15-18 sqm can be achieved.

4. There is no longer the tuba sponge available: what can I use to work in the tuba by emsal Carpet foam?

Either with a soft scrub brush, especially for larger areas, or with a coarse sponge, eg. like the one used for insect removal in car cleaning; available in car accessory stores, DIY stores and hypermarkets.

5. Can I use the tuba by emsal Carpet foam only for stain removal?

Stains should always be removed before the actual large-area cleaning, eg. with the tuba by emsal stain spray, according to the respective instructions for use.

6. Can the tuba by emsal stain spray also be used to clean large areas, eg. on carpets or upholstery?

No, only for very specific stain removal; afterwards the surface should be cleaned appropriately over the large area with a cleaning machine for carpets.

7. When applied on upholstery, edges appear, like water marks. How can these be removed again?

Here you have to ask specifically about the conditions of the problems. For this please get in touch with our customer service – see contact site on this webpage.

8. The treated stain has become larger instead of being removed. What to do now?

The stain substance has „lapsed”, but has not been completely removed. Special instruction is necessary here. For this please get in touch with our customer service – see contact site on this webpage.

9. After the stain treatment, the upholstery looks dirtier than before. What happened here?

Probably dust and dirt have migrated into the fillers over time and have now been “pulled” upwards by the treatment with a water based cleaner. Full-surface cleaning has to be done here in this case.

10. The removal of eg. a red wine stain did not work properly; dark spots are still visible.

The greater the amount of liquid that caused the stain, the more cleaner must be used to remove it. Thorough after-treatment with water and plenty of absorbent clothes is absolutely necessary.
