Question 1

Is it as good as "Resolve"?

Accepted Answer

This blows Resolve away hands down. Blood stains vanished within seconds before my eyes. See it to believe it!

Question 2

I'm looking for Folex stain remover for laundry items. Can you help me find it?

Accepted Answer

Even though it says Carpet Stain Remover, I use it on all my washable laundry items for spot stains.  I also carry a folex filled travel size hair spray bottle in my purse at all times for those pesky times I get food stains on my clothing.   As with most stains the sooner you can remove the stain, the better.  It is the best product I have ever found and also works well with cat stains.  The best price is usually at Home Depot in the cleaning products section.

Question 3

Does this have an odor ?

Accepted Answer

Not only odor free, it is safe for this MCS (chemically sensitive) user. Just used it to remove silver scratch marks off exterior of garage door that would not scrub off with water. Not sure why company labels this awesome water based cleaner as carpet spot remover when fine print also says it can be used on a variety of surfaces as long as they are color fast.

Question 4

What am I doing wrong? I pick up cats' hairball chunks, spray on heavily, rub with fingers, then rub w/ dry towel but stains remain after 5 tries!

Accepted Answer

Some cat foods stain the carpet when mixed with fur and it's VERY difficult to get up. I find I need to soak the carpet more than usual with folex , lightly brush it in then wait for at least 15 minutes blot, brush, blot and repeat. It often still doesn't completely come out. I spray more and let it dry. Come back the next day and start all over again. Sometimes if it's still not up I'll wait 3-4 days and repeat. And sometimes I get the carpet cleaner out although it can mat the carpet fibers so it's a last ditch effort. The color of the dark cat and dog foods actually stain the carpet. If you catch it right away soaking it up and spraying heavily works. This is the best I've found but some things need a lot of repeating and still won't completely come up. I wouldn't use boiling water as recommended below although hot water in small amounts mixed with the folex might help. Boling water will damage (Melt) many synthetic fibers.
