Lily pollen on carpet- please help!?

My very beautiful but very mishevious two year old daughter has managed to drop pollen from my Lilys onto my carpet. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can remove it?

It is a new carpet and it is slightly rubbed in...any help will be gratefully received.

Lily pollen on carpet- please help!?
Oooohhhhh. Lily pollen is dreadful to remove.

Start by using sellotape or a lint roller and dabbing it on. This will catch any loose pollen that hasn't been rubbed in. Then get a good carpet foam cleaner like 1001. Just use the foam because if it's too wet and you rub it you will spread the stain. The foam crystalises and when it's dry you can hoover it.

Hope it works for you. Good Luck. x
Reply:try selotape sticky side down DONT rub/ try at least several times before anything els good luck the little tinker eric john
Reply:Rub the area with styrofoam from packaging - the styrofoam makes the pollen leap to it, as it's electrically charged.
Reply:USUALLY THIS CLEANER CALLED RESOVE WORKS. IF ITS A TOUGH STAIN YOULL HAVE TO LET IT SET A MINUTE. BUT, I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE.
Reply:I once had Lily Pollen on the carpet; very enjoyable!
Reply:Lily pollen is a pain to get rid of!

Use sellotape, make sure it doesn't get rubbed in.

Then use a quality carpet cleaner



Sorry not much help but....



To stop this happening again cut the stamens off. it doesn't make the flowers look any less beautiful but solves the problem ever happening again
