Chemical Guys SPI_191 Lightning Fast Carpet and Upholstery Stain Extractor,(Fabric, Upholstery, & Carpet), Safe for Cars, Home, Office, Furniture & More, 128 fl oz (1 Gallon), Fresh Scent

I originally bought this for detailing my car... and 2.5 years after, one day I was just beside myself unable to make my work shirts smell acceptable to wear in. Before trying Chemical Guys Lightning Stain Remover, I had tried various super expensive biofilm busting detergents, athletic wear laundry soaps, stain removers, different deodorants, various soaps to wash... literally nothing worked. I can't tell you how depressing it was to "ruin" new shirts the first time I wore them. I was afraid to hug family and friends. I was nervous around people. I was double washing my clothes. I tried switching away from cotton to poly blends. NOTHING WORKED.So one day... I don't know why... Suddenly it occurred to me I should try the Lightning Stain Remover. I mixed it up at a 20:1 or 15:1 ratio. I sprayed it on the armpits of some typically awful shirts with the lowest expectations. I let it soak in for about 5 minutes, agitated it with a little brush and then washed as usual.I took out my damp shirt after the spin cycle, expecting it to have the familiar gross spice... and I was SHOCKED that it did not smell. It wasn't less. It was GONE. I tried it on more laundry. It worked. Finally.In the past couple of weeks, I have redeemed shirts I was ready to throw away. I bought a designer blazer on eBay for cheap because they couldn't get the deodorant stain and reek out... 5 minutes of carefully spraying, gently brushing and saturating and rinsing... and the blazer is in pristine condition. The beaded gown I wore to a wedding that of course had white stains and the sharp sweat smell is back to new condition. Everything I used it on is restored.I have used Lightning Stain Remover with no problem on cottons, polyester, rayon, nylon, acrylic, wool. I freaking love this stuff and the price is incredible in comparison to finicky so-called biofilm busting laundry detergents that do jack.My tip for you: mix up a solution at 15:1 or 20:1... and saturate the stain by gently squeezing and working the solution into the fabric. If it's really bad (or a textured surface like beading overlay or thick blazer with a lining), spray from both sides. In addition to squeezing, you might want to brush with a soft toothbrush. Let sit 1-2 minutes. Repeat as needed. Rinse or flush with water or wash as normal. NOTE: Before flushing with water, it may still be stinky. It doesn't necessarily neutralize the odor, but it does lock onto the scent and allow water to flush it out.Thank you Chemical Guys. Please never stop making this.

Works great, my second time to buy it, cleans stains very good.

The media could not be loaded. So I purchased an RV that had a brand new mattress in it & decided I was going to sell my current mattress that was abt 5yrs old & keep the new one. I had put a full zippered mattress protector on my mattress right after I purchased it so I figured it would be in good shape & I could sell it. I opened the cover some & was disappointed when I saw stains. The RV mattress ended up being rock hard & I decided to keep my mattress & purchased some Woolite upholstery cleaner to get the stains out. While pulling it out I saw that I had purchased this stuff for my car but hadn’t ever used it so I thought I’d try it on my mattress. I sprayed it on & the stains literally disappeared!! I only had to scrub the ones that were more prominent & I used the lil scrub brush on the Woolite bottle. I ran out of spray before I could get everything completely out of the mattress but it looks 90% better! I’ve ordered another bottle to finish up the last lil bit of the stains & purchased a better mattress protector!! I highly recommend this stuff for a mattress, car, carpets, or anything that needs stain removal!! I will say the smell is a lil chemically but it’s not bad. I’ll take the smell over the stains any day! I also used some of the Woolite bc that smelled rly good. If u have a mattress that has lots of stains, get more than 1 bottle! Luckily none of my stains were bodily fluids, it was caused by dirty animals in the bed & prob a spill or 2 by a grand baby. Mostly pet related tho & it had been through several moves & in the rain & a dirty truck on 1 of those. Anyways just get it…several bottles!

Make sure you give it time to work. It looks better after it drys. I used the spinning brush attachment in a drill. Maybe a little too rough on old fabric. Just use the brush softly.

I'm going to give a 5 star. My daughter's old car had mainly coffee, makeup and spilled lotions all over the back and front seats. These were old stains. I didn't think this would work, and still not sure because there was a lot of sweating and scrubbing involved...it is 80% clean so I'm going to say it's the product but I have nothing to compare it to. Use a mask if your lungs are sensitive. I would definitely use on new stains, and even in house fir carpet or mattress.

After watching videos of people raving about it the cleaner is not any better than any other cleaner. It gets the job done but I feel like you need a lot of it for the amount you get. Also I did not get the brush with the cleaner. But I don’t hate the product and use a lot of there other stuff.

cleans headline like no joke! not even messing around
