Upon removing my floor mats (Vanagon) to clean, I happened to notice a consistent behavior as I washed them with a hose. I knew I had spilled a little brake fluid on them. I know I shoulda done this at a car wash that properly process the waste water, but I didn't. Anyway. As water is sprayed on objects with braked fluid, the brake fluid foams up, almost like a detergent. I kept spraying until the foaming stopped. I figured that the brake fluid is gone. I confirmed this opservation by rinsing off the outside of my used brake fluid container. Same foaming action. It wasn't due to being a carpet. I could feel that the fluid was indeed gone. Now we have a way to check that brake fluid has been removed from carpet! - Jeff '80 Westi, '67 Sqbk, Wanna Deluxe
