I know there are different products for different spots and stains but if you could only take one product to a job which would it be?
-
Water :P

A stupid question, if you want to be a pro then you need to be equipped to takle the things that you come up against. It is chemically impossible to tackle everything with one product.
If there is one thing that is more important than anything else in this industry it is training.
I have things in the van that I may use on very rare occasions but when you need them then nothing else will do.

There's no such thing. You need a wide range of stain removal products in your van to deal with a range of common stains.

Vanish ;D

Stanley knife.

Hector, you have used far too many smileys, you will have Mike after you ;D ;D ;D ;D

If I was to take one spotter it would probably be a microsplitter, good for multiple applications and selling on.
-
Peter, stupid question why?
I said I know there's different products for different stains.
If you think it's stupid dont answer!
It's a general question to see if people have a favourite, I never suggested that 1 would remove all stains so no not stupid at all.
-
It does annoy me when some on here have to be so self righteous rather than just converse in a proper manner.
Its obviously a hypothetical question, and isnt stupid at all, its posing a challenge if you had only one product available to take, which would it be.
If you read the question right you'd understand how to respond to it !

Maybe a better question would be most used spotter??
For me it would probably be stain pro, or pure clean mixed to spotter strength
-
Cheers Steve, exactly
-
One spotter.....solvex every time (other cheaper and in my opinion inferior brands/copies available).
Instance being that on many occasions I get told "thats calpol", that is pretty easy to get out but its the sticky crap that is stuck to it that always proves more stubborn, a quick spray with solvex and a rub in with the toe of my shoe, flush out and all gone, saves a load of time.

Prochem stain pro is great, but the one I posted is even better as it removes the protein stains plus oil based, which means it removes the widest spectrum of stains, honestly try it.
Stain Pro would be 2nd for me.
-
Probably prochem’s citrus gel

Cheers gents for the answers that I originally posted the question for.

never really got into spotting I only used to have dry fusion and would DF then use unbelievable spotter not a bad spotter and smells great then when I added HWE I used MPOWER Spotter and that is what I grab from now on works great on red wine so that for me is my number 1 although I now know the need for several spotters and carry loads.
-
How can you have 1 spotter for everything? the ph scale goes up and down so that creates 2 spotters to start with. and that's before we start going left and right.

ok its not a stupid question sorry.
It seemed a bit like asking a painter if there was one type of paint that they had to use which would it be?
A bit of training and understanding of what you are doing would help.
Whilst a forum like this is great for learning I think a lot of people come on here wanting to learn how to clean carpet for free.

Done two voids this morning LM and one domestic (charcoal) TM and would like to change my reply from probably too definitely
-
Mine is most definitely M Power ......... as it is the only water based spotter that I have, on occasion, lifted gum & grease with ::)roll
