Carbona Stain Devils® #3 | Ink, Marker & Crayon | Professional Strength Laundry Stain Remover | Multi-Fabric Cleaner | Safe On Skin & Washable Fabrics | 1.7 Fl Oz, 1 Pack

When I was little everyone in the family used to drop off their tough stains at my Grandma’s house. She always asked what made the stain, if it wasn’t obvious. When I was in college and could no longer get to Grandma’s, I called to ask her what to do about a stain and she turned me on to Carbona Stain Devils! I have been using them for 35 years now. A regular stain spray sometimes just isn’t enough, but these never fail because they are specifically formulated for the particular type of stain. I have only had to retreat a tough rust stain on a white tee shirt with this product once, otherwise it has always worked on the first try. Just read and follow instructions. Remember to check stains before throwing the item in the dryer; once dry they are much tougher to remove. These can get a bit expensive when you have very messy grandkids and you’re the grandma, so I usually try a cheaper spray remover on their clothes first and if it remains this is my go to! I suggest buying a pack with a variety of formulas to start and then replacing the single bottles as you run out.

Works great. Took out ink stains on the first use.

Removed ink from work shirt

I was very disappointed with Carbona Stain Devils®. I purchased this product specifically to remove Sharpie ink from a sweatshirt and carefully followed the directions exactly as stated on the package. Unfortunately, it did not remove the stain at all. I had high expectations for this product based on its claims, so the results were especially disappointing. Due to my experience, I would not recommend this product and would not purchase it again.

It works pretty well, though when my dog chewed a pen in half, a huge amount of black ink bled into a quarter sized spot on super light carpeting. I may have to spend more time on it again, but at least the spot is less noticeable. Oddly it is orange now.

This really does remove ink stains if you haven’t dried it in the dryer first. I used to find it in retail stores, but now only online. It’s worth th price to save ink stained clothing.

Somehow I had managed to get ink all over the front of my shirt. I followed the directions for a large stain and let the stain soak in undiluted Carbona for about 15 minutes prior to washing. I was so happy to see that the Carbona removed the entire stain. Definitely recommend this product!

I am only giving this a 3, as ( which means Its okay) because, I bought it to remove pencil marks I unwittingly put on a sheer drape I wanted to smock, it turned out I marked the wrong end of the drape, but thought its pencil so it will come out!! NO pencil does not come out of fabric. I was desperate as I went ahead and smocked the correct end then washed the drape. I followed the directions on the bottle of Stain Devils. but the marks remained, finally I used a tooth brush and scrubbed every single mark individually. It took 2 and 1/2 hours and the marks are lighter, but not gone. I really had hoped this would have removed the marks with out all the scrubbing. Oh well lesson learned ,BTW it took every drop of Stain Devils . Kind of an expensive little bottle. I wouldn't buy this ever again
