40 volume hydrogen peroxide question

[Contemporary Carpet Clean]

what do stains and or spots do you guys use it for? What do you have to be careful with when using it? What stains would you never use it on?

 

[Jim Martin]

I mostly use it with alcohol to remove red wine stains....we are a retirement town..a lot of these old people live for there wine and have trouble holding a steady glass.....

not recommended for wool..silk..cotton...crap like that.........

To keep things simple just use stain magic on organic stains (wine, natural juices, coffee, plant stains etc.) that do not respond to cleaning.

I keep urine rescue and stain magic on my truck and those have me covered.

to keep things simpler....mix 50 % urine stain remover and 50% protein stain remover and have a better mix of stain magic with a longer shelf life...plus you have the 2 gallons of chems to use for other things.....simple economical....and you won't be paying a high price for stain magic only to find out that your part "B" evaporated.....but use 40 volume as described above on red wine stains...... mist with alcohol then mist with 40 volume and watch it disappear before your eyes.......

Alcohol? Do you mean ammonia?

That's what I was thinking..what kinda alcohol? I don't think I ever heard this mix before. I'm always open to try out "new" things.

yes..sorry..you are correct....don't know what I was thinking......it is ammonia...I knew it started with an "A".....

This thread caught my attention, I believe Cobb's Dye Stain Remover contains isopropyl alchohol and ammonia. I always wondered what role the IPA had in the stain removal process.

alcohol/ammonia= windex, which will clean certain things effectively provided you have nothing else to use. lets say that you keep some sally's 40 volume in one of those silver sparymaster bottles with a flip cap lid on it. how long do you think the 40 volume would stay effective.

you just have to be smarter then the bottle.......

Just as long as that GALLON of urine rescue(vol 20) will last in a van? I would say vol 40 lasts about 2 weeks to a month, depending on the heat...

thanks guys. I will keep that in mind. Ive had luck getting red wine out with browning/tannin treatments too.

Just don't go using Bleach and Ammonia

Bleach+Ammonia= Death

 

[Ken Snow]

Or bleach, dry cleaning solvent and amonia. Had a guy do that about 28 years ago in our plant and we had to evacuate.
