Title: SPOTTERS - You can have just 3 spotters on your van, what would you choose?
Post by: kinder clean on March 15, 2009, 08:49:21 pm: Would like some of you pro's to give us some advise on good spotters. - Hence the title question.

So choose the 3 you couldn't live without.

If you can list next to each product what stains they are good for that would help.

P.S - Am I the only one who thinks Prochems 'stainpro' is pants?

Thanks

Post by: Jim_77 on March 15, 2009, 09:48:41 pm: You're not the only one that thinks stain pro is pants. All it's ever done for me is cause light patches around a stain that wasn't removed. Likewise with RedRX.

My no.1 spotter is a servicemaster product, works on 99% of any spots that are still there after extraction.
I tried solutions RX and special spotter and didn't get on with them for various reasons.
Not really done the rounds of every other manufacturer's spotters, haven't needed to ;)

Post by: Doctor Carpet (Ret'd) on March 15, 2009, 10:43:39 pm: Prochem - Citrus Gel
Sodium met

A hot iron. Yes I know it isn't a chemical but it is so versatile with other things.

Stain Pro; only use it for blood stains and I think it is very good for that but wouldn't bother with it on anything else.

Post by: Shaun_Ashmore on March 15, 2009, 11:18:58 pm: Ideally you need 4

1 high ph
1 low ph
1 spirit
1 bleach

Mix high ph with low ph and you have neutral which makes 5.
