Take it from me, a Stain Expert…
Confession: I can’t wear white.
Actually, I don’t trust myself wearing any light colors…or anything that isn’t black.
You could ask anyone who knows me (especially my husband), and they’ll tell you I attract stains like a magnet. As careful as I am, odds are, whatever I’m eating or drinking will undoubtedly find its way onto my clothing.
I swear it must be a childhood curse. Someone put the bad juju on me, cursing me to a live a life of stains!
That is, until I found this stain remover that CHANGED MY LIFE.
Yeah yeah, “life changing” product, right? I’d be rolling my eyes if I were you too. But, family, I’m here to tell you- throw away your Tide Pen because this is the Holy Grail!
This magical product was recommended by a friend, and when I read the reviews I thought, how could 64,664 people be wrong. You read that right; this product has an almost 5 star rating on amazon from almost 65 thousand people!
Now, this product is listed as a Carpet Spot Cleaner, but I’ve successfully used it on clothing, denim, carpet, couch, baby clothes, baby accessories- literally anything! I mean, why not? You have nothing to lose by trying.
Wanna know how it went? Read on…
The Ivory Couch Delivery Fiasco
White, ivory, stone, sand. All of these tones look so sleek and clean in a living room! Think, Scandinavian Minimalism.
I’d swoon over images of lime washed walls, cream linens and soft white couches on Pinterest and Instagram and think, “No way that stays clean!”.
I wanted a white couch, but knowing myself and the accidents that can happen when company visits, I thought a white couch was impractical and a terrible idea.
Naturally, we went and bought a white couch.
We threw caution and better judgement to the wind and purchased a gorgeous ivory colored couch for our new living room.
Here’s what happened
I quickly bought the stain spray in preparation (because, I know me); I was NOT gonna let this couch get ruined!
Cue delivery day and the couch arrives… already stained! Yup, ugly gray and black marks in not one but several visible areas.
We were bummed. We had waited two months for this couch! How long would we have to wait for a replacement?
I decided this would be the perfect opportunity for a stain removal test drive.
The Result
The spray worked!
I used it exactly as directed and the marks virtually disappeared before my eyes.
I was floored!
Not only did it seem too easy, it worked almost instantly and without any harsh smell or strange residue.
Stain Score: 10/10
The Poopie Chair
AKA: The Baby Bjorn Bouncer.
Allow me to share some vital information I wish someone had told me as a first time parent:
- Babies LOVE pooping in bouncers. Why? who knows.
- Because of their seated position, said poop is likely to travel to the sides or up the back. EWW.
- Baby poo can stain clothes! In my experience, both breast and formula-fed baby poop will generally stain or leave some discoloration on fabrics.
There almost was never a time when we put Arie in her bouncer that she didn’t poop. The “Poopie Chair”, as we affectionately named it, was so effective that we’d sometimes schedule her time in there in order to plan her poops (lol).
Here’s what happened
There was one problem… 50% of the time, the poop would escape her diaper in some strange way.
Some of you out there know exactly what I’m talking about- poo everywhere!.
So after several exhausting poop explosions, lots of Dawn soap, endless scrubbing, and unsuccessful wash cycles…I busted out the stain spray.
The Result
It worked, but let me explain…
The couch experiment made me cocky. I literally watched those couch stains disappear so, naturally, I expected the same immediate results.
I sprayed stains both new and old and watched them fade, but they didn’t dissapear. I chocked it up as a fail and threw the bouncer cover in the wash and thought nothing more if it. Not even this miracle spray was a match for baby poo!
Or so I thought.
There I was folding laundry when I spotted the bouncer cover; it was like new, spotless! I couldn’t believe it!
The stain remover not only got rid of the most recent stain, but it also got rid of the old spots that Dawn soap and laundry detergent could not.
In the (many) times I’ve cleaned the cover since, the stain remover has been successful in eliminating stains when you use it before a wash cycle. It won’t do the work all on its own, but when used to pre-treat stains, it’s proven to be a miracle worker.
Stain Score: 8/10
Don’t Eat Quesadillas on the Carpet
I know better than to eat sitting on the carpet. But hey, sometimes parent multi-tasking means having your meal at the same time you’re entertaining your baby.
Here’s what happened
There I was, Quesadilla in one hand, baby teether in the other when- DRIP. A big ol’ drop of oil and hot-sauce landed directly onto our new beige rug. DANG!
Normally I’d run and get the Dawn soap, but I wanted to see what this stain spray was really made of. Would this work on Oil?
The Result
See for yourself!
Stain Score: 10/10 – This stuff is truly magic!
Red Sauce Meets White Table Runner
Accidents happen! And accidents are more likely to happen when everything in your home is a light neutral color.
Here’s what happened
Our white table runner was an unfortunate casualty of pasta night. Hey, it happens! Whether by your hands or the chunky little hands of your sweet baby learning how to eat, accidents will happen.
Now wouldn’t it be great to not have to have to worry about spills, no matter the color? Imagine not buying only dark decor because of your fear of “inevitable” stains or even having to deal with the anxiety of having to do damage control to salvage your stuff.
I tell no lies when I say, Folex has your back!
The Result
BEHOLD! As the tomato sauce splatter literally is wiped away in seconds.
I honesty made this video right after it happened because I needed you all to see it in real time.
Red sauce + a few sprays + gentle wipe = Stains GONE!
Where to Buy
Lets talk about the price…
This magician a bottle is super affordable! The 32oz bottle will usually run you about $15, but it’s currently on sale for $8.60!
After seeing what this product can do, I would honestly pay them whatever they wanted for it- its that good (just don’t let them know that haha).
If you enjoy a clean home, you’ve tried countless products, or maybe, like me, you’re tired of your cursed life of stains, then this product should be a staple in your cleaning toolkit.
In my opinion: worth the money and definitely lives up to the hype. Try it for yourself!
