Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover, 32oz, Pack of 2

I have a light tan headliner, which means every little mark stands out like a sore thumb. As a mechanic, dirt and grease seem to find their way into everything—including the headliner. I had 50–60 marks up there, ranging from penny-sized smudges to streaks 2–3 inches long. There were even fingerprint stains and a sun visor covered in grime. On top of that, I’ve got a 9-month-old who somehow manages to contribute to the mess up there too.I used this upholstery cleaner along with some detailing brushes and microfiber rags. It worked great. Some spots came clean with just one pass, while tougher ones took 2–3. A quick tip: don’t overdo it—headliners are delicate. Too much scrubbing or moisture can break down the adhesive that holds the fabric in place.I recommend spraying the cleaner onto the brush—not directly on the headliner. Then gently scrub with light to medium pressure, using circular motions and changing directions. Pat dry with a microfiber towel and let it air dry. A few spots left faint rings or outlines after drying, but a light second scrub took care of that.All in all, I spent about an hour cleaning every little mark, and now the headliner looks brand new. As a factory-trained technician with over a decade of experience in the automotive field (including trade school), I can confidently say this product works—just be gentle and take your time. Once you do a couple of spots, you’ll get the hang of it.Here’s a link to the detail brushes I got off Amazon: Detail Dudes Car Detailing Brush... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073YD6BJD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This stuff is awesome. First, let me say it doesn’t smell at all.We had a stain that painters left 3 years ago. They came back and tried to clean the stain, but they couldn’t get it clean. Over the past few years, I’ve tried just about everything that the Internet suggested and it didn’t come out.We got this product and I SOAKED the stain. The bottle says no rinsing, and I didn’t.This product actually seems to break up the stain but it didn’t go away completely. Reminder, this stain has been there 3 years in a high traffic area in our hallway. I have tried a carpet cleaner several times on the stain and nothing.So, after the first attempt at getting the stain out, I tried again and tried to soak up the stain with a rag and it got some more out.I brought out the carpet cleaner and went to work on the stain. It worked ( well almost) but the stain is so faint that you can barely see it. I’m going to try to work on the stain some more.I am very impressed with this product and am going to definitely recommend it and will buy more when needed.

I originally bought Folex for my cloud couch since I had heard of people having issues with washing the covers in the machine. However, where I end up using this the most is after cooking and meals - it's great at removing small spots from food stains, is basically scentless, and doesn't have any sort of bleaching/discoloring effect that I've noticed. It works wayyyy better than a Tide pen or Grandma's Secret Spot Remover (sorry grandma) and comes in such a large bottle that I can use it very liberally. I've had stains that I didn't notice for a few days come out, and it works almost instantaneously on fresh spots.

Only giving this a four star because it didn’t take out an old stain from my rug. My daughter spilled soda on my rug and didn’t tell me. I noticed that the spot kept getting darker as time went on and she finally fessed up. I tried different things to clean it with but they didn’t work. This Folex was my last resort and it did not take the stain out. Plus, I found this product at Home Depot for half what I paid for it here. I’m going to use it to clean some of my other rugs and hope for good results.

Cats. Need I say more? Long story short, over 60 feral cats spayed and neutered, quite a few ended up in the house as we live on a pretty busy shortcut to the expressway. As they aged, so did their ability to find a litter box. Thus stuff?WOW.Just wow. Not only did it clean the pet stains, it also cleaned 25 year old stains in my daughter's childhood bedroom. Like seriously. 25 year old stains.The only thing I've found so far beyond its ability is age old bright orange spots. I don't even remember anymore whether they were markers or juice boxes but they decided to teach this cleaner a lesson. They're not as bright but still there.If you have carpets and pets or kids or just actually live in your house, GET THIS STUFF. Actually get two so you'll have a spare.

I use this with my spot cleaner/extractor. I spray the mixture out onto the carpet/other porous surface, then either hand-brush it in with a nylon brush or, in worse situations, I use a drill-powered brush to work it in really well. Then, I use the extractor to pull most of it back out. It cleans pretty well and leaves no noticeable residue afterward, and seemingly has no odor. It does foam up a bit or I'd almost suspect they were selling water in the container. That's not a complaint, though. While working just plain water into a spill/dirty spot with a brush and extracting it would clean it quite well, the Folex stuff goes further and seems to help remove old stains and other such problems.The only thing I can't seem to get rid of are some UV-luminescent stains. Depending on the cause of the stain, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. For example, cat barf often leaves a permanent, UV-luminescent stain on the carpet. No matter how much I clean it with the Folex and a drill-mounted brush, it doesn't go away. It's hard to really fault the Folex, though, since that's probably an impossible task. However, when my kid was a baby/toddler he'd eat applesauce packets and sometimes toss them on the ground in his bedroom. Sometimes the applesauce would get on the carpet and cause a luminescent stain, even after hand-cleaning the stain with a rag. The Folex does remove these stains completely after being worked-in and extracted out.
