Kick 'n Bass in boat carpet

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Kick 'n Bass in boat carpet

Post by LH »

Anyone have any suggestions on removing Kick 'n Bass gooey residue from boat carpet? :cry: Top was left open while bottle lay on its side for a week between outings so stain is mostly in one area. Carpets were scotch-garded a couple of years ago but don't know how much remains.
Haven't tried anything yet before asking the board "experts".

Thanks in advance ....... LH

If it is garlic scent, I would recommend soaking the carpet in spaghetting and meatballs with a dry red wine.

I believe I saw a product in the Boatland Canada catalog (from Laurentian Marine) that listed a stain remover. Might help.

Sorry, can't be more help than that. Good luck and welcome to the board.

LH- is that you?

KNB on your Ranger??? :shock:

I've asked Cos, the Head Cheese at KNB to let me know the best solution to your problem.

That is, if you didn't want to go with the meatballs and red wine...

I'll let you know what Cos says as soon as he replies.

Hi CCB,
Yup, it's me. No see since Carp show. I'm finally getting around to doing things that should have been done last fall.
I'll wait till I hear what you can find out from the head dog at KNB before going with MT's solution.

Thanks for the contact.
Catch you later ..... LH

Here's the scoop

LH-

Just heard back from Ken, the inventor/mfgr. of Kick'n Bass.

He says to soak the stain in liquid laundry detergeant (Tide or Cheer)- let it sit- then hose it off. Should be good as new. Do not use dish detergeant.

Good luck. :D

Many thanks for the info Tom. I'll give Wisk (not wiskey) a try and if it works I'll post the results.

See ya on the water ...... LH

Not much change

Just a note to let CCB know that soaking the stain in Wisk detergent did not help too much. After soaking the spot, I scrubbed with a fairly stiff brush. It brought up the carpet grain and now it looks like a mini spiked haircut. It might have done a better job if the stain had not a whole winter to solidify. I may try to soak in Goo Gone next followed by more detergent and hot water.

Could always trade the boat in I guess (oops. just hallucinating again). :lol: :lol:

Cheers ..... LH
