today I went into a blind panic I dropped my mascara onto our cream-colored bedroom carpet I thought I'd never get it out until my sister told me about rug doctors high foot traffic cleaner which doubled as a remover of oil-based makeup rug doctor - traffic cleaner is used as a pretreatment - using the rug doctor machine so I decided to get the cafe a deep clean at the same time I applied it as instructed and the stain disappeared start by shaking the bottle well and then turn the nozzle to the on position now generously spray the product at full length on to the makeup stain remember this product is a pretreatment - rug doctored machine cleaning so leave the product for 5 to 10 minutes before cleaning the room with the rug doctor machine now I can simply remove any makeup stains from the carpet I'll definitely be recommending this product to my friend you
