Folex Spot Remover

Did anyone have any holiday parties at home this year? Anyone have upholstery or carpet stains resulting from said parties? Folex Spot Remover has been used to remove such household stains for over 30 years. While we haven't used it yet ourselves, here's the info from the Folex website (and step-by-step photos after the jump)...

Folex is completely non-toxic, waterbased, without dangerous fumes or foul odors. It can be used on colorfast carpets, rugs, and upholstery, but also hard surfaces like woodwork and walls. It works on colorfast clothing, too, but we'd be sure to test before using anywhere. Buy a 32 oz. bottle at Amazon for less than 7 bucks.

This, hands down is the best stain remover. When my gf (now wife) moved in with a big dog, I think we went through the entire product offering available for carpet stain removers. Most of them required a lot of product and significant blotting to (sort of) remove the stain. This product just works, plain and simple. Not to mention it is reasonably priced and a single bottle lasts a very long time..It has been used on everything a dog can throw down (and up) on carpets. Funny to see it here.

Appreciate this post for I have an off-white upholstered chair that needs to be spot cleaned and I'd like to try this, first, before going to the expense of bringing in a professional -- the Amazon reviews are all 5-star for this product, so I'm hopeful.

This stuff is the best, hands down. My mom used it when I was a kid, and now it's in my closet of cleaning supplies.
