Furniture stains

After you apply Stain Magic cover with plastic. The stain will draw up into the plastic. It can take more than 1 application and sometimes it never does totally come out.

I always start with Pro Solv and then move to the Stain Magic.

Explain how the stain will "Draw" up into the plastic.

The only reason for plastic is to keep it wet so the chemical reaction occurs longer. Once dry it becomes inactive.

Correction.... You are right. The reason for the plastic is to increase dwell times so that the product does not dry to quickly. Thanks for correcting me. I guess I wandered off into red stain land.

Some refinements to the comments above.

Use a solvent first. Some furnityure stains include a component that can be removed with a solvent - All Solv, Pro Solve Gel, Citrus Solv or whatever you like. If you use a voltaile solvent it will evaporate. Then you will not need to extract or rinse.

After using the solvent, then use the oxidizer. I prefer StainZONE over Stain Magic, but either one should be able to do the job.. Apply StainZONE or Stain MAgic to dry carpet. If you rinsed or extracted your solvent or the carpet is wet from cleaning, you need to get the carpet dry before applying the oxidizer.

Use fresh product.

Apply liberaaly. You don't want it to dry out for several hours. Do some light agitation to get the StainZONE worked into the stain.

To accelerate the action, you can use a UV light, UV flashlight or the DCI light with the UVC bulb in it. If you don't have a UV light, sunlight can help. Open blinds or curtains if this will allow more sunlight on the stain.

In some conditions, covering with clear plastic wrap slows down the evaporation and drying. In some humid conditions, this is not necessary.

Sometimes a second application is required.

Why does Avneg Neutral spotter work when other products don't? Our special secret of reactive ingredients. This works for about 25% to 30% of furniture stains. It owrks faster and easier than StainZONE but it does not work all the time. Personally, I go directly to StainZONE after the solvents, but Avenge could save you some time.

Is there a better type of plastic? and will Stainzone covering with plastic wrap, AND using a Uv flashlight be okay? I have one Friday?? Everything went well but..........

Everything Scott said...but also, remember to under promise & over achieve! Some furniture stains will not come out, so explain that you'll do your best and if YOU can't get it out, NOBODY can. There's a fine line, you don't want to sound unconfident, but you don't want to get their hopes up to high and then not deliver.

The only reason to cover in plastic is to keep it from drying out too quickly. If you apply liberally and use a UV light, it should not dry out before the stain has been removed.

Any clear plastic that lets the light through will work fine.

There actually used to be a product on the market many years ago that worked on furniture stains. It came in a aerosol can but was taken off the market. At this point, nothing works well and the only times they come out are the very few occasions that you get lucky. It's better not to waste time and chemical on a one-in-a-million shot.

Stain Magic, DCI Light
Good luck. Hope you don't have to buy any carpet.
