Most people are gonna go with Folex here. I think*

[mini1]

Folex for sure.

[dschribs]

+3 for Folex.



On sale at Price Chopper this week if you have one near you.

[Brad B]

Not me. I like Woolite Heavy Traffic.

303 always works for me

Looks like i will be picking up some Folex, unless anybody knows of any products available OTC that do a better job.



Thanks

Also, note that if you don`t have an extractor, Folex works wonders on microsuede and regular non-leather/non-vinyl upholstery. I did some fantastic transformations with this stuff and a strong wet/dry vac before I bought my extractor.

Folex for a non-foaming cleaner, Turtle Wax PowerOUT! Oxy for a dry foam.

[Ron Ketcham]

Tuff=Stuff.

Not the best, but works great and can get it anywhere.

Folex or Zep from HD.

What kind of stains are we taking about?

For grease and tar stains, I like WD-40`s Spot Shot.

For protein stains, like vomit or blood, I am trying General Spotter made by Spotting Solution, Inc. (Spotting Solutions Stain Removers (http://www.spottingsolutions.com)). It was given to me to try by a carpet dealer/installer-and-cleaning service.



Going to carpet stores in your area is another option you have to finding dedicated carpet-cleaning chemicals that are more "professional/industrial" in how they work, but you will pay a premium price as well versus over-the-counter chemicals from mainstream big-box stores.

Folex generally works quite well. I`ll do a one-two punch if I`m working a tough stain (Folex followed by Resolve) coupled with ShopVac extraction.

I love tough stuff. It works great for me and my famiilys cars and is cheap at Walmart
