What unconventional product or method have you used to take out spots or stains?????????I've heard of hair spray, I myself have used wd40 which works on a variety of stains. I also have used Haitian cotton to reverse browning in carpet, and Fabric softener. Of course these are urban legends.... How bout you? Edited by Stanley |

Boy I would be mad if you wasted my hairspray on the carpet. If that works I'd be surprised, if anything it would be one stiff stain. I have used peanut butter to get gum out once but I left one big mess and the dog was licking at that stain for days. Damm near wore out the fibers.

Peanut butter is excellent on gum. Sitting milk on ink works too.White of an egg on coffee stains on cotton. Peroxide is a wonder and no residue. Rubbing Alcohol is a wonder and no residue. Hairspray is great as long as it contains no oil. Usually the cheapest on the market is the best. Edited by LilNiteRidrhood |

Let me make myself perfectly clear on this one. Don't I repeat Don't ever use any products professionally that they have in the home or that they can use them selfs. Guess What!!!!!!!! They won't need you the next time. People claim they de-brown with vinegar this makes the house smell like a fish and chip factory. No pun to you Len Add the peanut butter and jelly, now the whole house smells like Denny's restaurant. |

True true.....you try to hide it the best you can.....but if you can't because it's an emergency the customer will appreciate your knowledge. If you need the customer out of the room...ask for a glass of water works everytime. |

Stanley ever since you said you used Tide I rushed out and bought stock in Proctor & Gamble. Keep shovling that stuff. I like it when you use lots. |

Tide????Tide????who uses Tide....not me....are you trying to ruin the industry Ted. Tide is for clothes not for carpet.....I have a place called Al-Chem out in brampton, that makes up my Dry Slurry knock off. Which he did say has a lot of ingredients from regular laundry detergent. I never said I use TIDE.... But if you think it will work I'll try it here at home on my own carpets....It's enviromentally safe, it easy on skin...it brightens.....it smells nice....I'm gonna rinse it all out with fresh water.....hell I think your onto something Ted. |

there is a very reputable carpet cleaning company out here that uses tide in their area rug cleaning machines. their customers usually bring their rugs to me for correctional cleaning, ie brown fringes, color bleed, yellow streaks, brittleness etc. USE CAREFULLY FORMULATED CARPET CLEANING DETERGENT. IT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY. PS. their customers become my customers and i charge more money |

You can tell that they don't know what they are doing....brown fringes has nothing to do with tide...either does color bleed..yellow streaks or brittleness.....These are from incorrect rug cleaning...over wetteing...hot hot hot water...long drying times...not peroxiding the fringe...has nothing to do with the use of tide..... Most granulated soap has basically the same chemical break down as tide...tide might not work as well...because It might not contain the amount of solvent agents and optical brighteners and softeners used in Carpet detergent. But basically its the same thing...you can clean one mat with Chem spec formula 77 and one mat with tide.....you'd never be able to tell the difference try it at home |

Stanley is not too off the target there, I actually knew a Greek man that used to soak and take a bath in tide, and wash his hair with it too. So there you go. He looked alright to me.

I would respefully disagree with you. While granulated soaps more than likey share some similar ingredients there are major differences betweeen most major brands. They may share common things like sodium silicate or TSP or TSPP or NTA or NTA, the major differences are in the surfactant package that is used as well as the percentages of each. i would assume over the years you have tried different cleaning products - the ones that work better are the ones you stick with |

Use professional products, YES, BUT sometimes you get in a bind and don't HAVE the chem on the truck, then someof these are very helpful to get through the job.
WD -40 is great at removing gum! |
