After years if not a decade of testing I hereby declare the best post spotter in the world to be...

[hogjowl]

It’s not complicated Meg. Just grate up a palmfull and mix it hot in a 32 oz bottle.

Squirt top; not spray

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Fels and 40.

Clean with what ever you got and when a stain remains give it a good soak with fresh undiluted liquid 40 and rub


Honestly, if that wonder combo does not take out what your nuke pre spray can't, just admit defeat and move on.


This lump of human doody sat for over a week while the gent was in the hospital.

I hit it with 40 first, no rinse, SS Green which got all the solids and turned it more yellow and sort of spread it out, then the 40/Fels got the rest completely out


Who ever says Fels does not rinse well must use an 02 -03 flow wand.


Never a discoloration issue or a resoil problem if used with common sense.

Thanks for sharing#humandoody

TOM and I just teamed up on a Saiger order. Looking forward to my 40lb bucket of Code Red and a case of Cide. I can’t believe how fast I blew through my chem supply.

I think our CitraGreen with some new hi-tech surfactants & citrus solvent

used straight as a spotter will remove more stains than fels.

Of course it requires ample rinsing at that strength.

In our spotting classes, our Odor Attack (Oxidizer + Enzyme) took out more stains than every spotter brought to the class by cleaners.

Larry, I've been using banes gel solve with amazing results. I wonder how yours compares. I may have to try some on my next order. Sane with the peroxide.

 

[Larry Cobb]

Ours is actually a prespray with an amazing surfactant . . .

combined with a healthy dose of citrus solvent.

 

[hogjowl]

He’s gone from well formulated to amazing

Still needs a new website. Hard to shop on my phone..

 

[hogjowl]

No
You need a desk top
Idiot

 

[DAT]

That could work.. or you need to upgrade from this phone.

 

[Jim Martin]

I still use an old cell phone case and hook it to my wand.....but I have noticed that since I switched over to Saigers pre-spray...I have not had to pull it out as much.....

 

[BIG WOOD]

Woohoo! You guys just ruined how you appear to the customer when you scrub that carpet with a bar of soap. I hated how that fels felt when it got wet. Nope, give me a solvent gel. If you want my fels, I’ve got a whole bag of it in my shed that I’ll never use again.

 

[DAT]

I take it that you dont wear rubber gloves..

A trailer goober worried about customer impressions, priceless.

 

[BIG WOOD]

PFFT!

That’s why I liquify it.

 

[Old Coastie]

I'm so ashamed to be associated with you hacks!

Oh not the fels, just in general.

Fels? What hacks! How about some 20 mule team borax?

20 Mule Team borax makes an outstanding forge welding flux. Better than sand by a mile.

Put that in your flux capacitor and smoke it.

 

[Nomad74]

God. I laugh so much reading threads.

Sounds to me like he already did

 

[Old Coastie]

Now Ofer, nobody smokes borax, although I maybe inhale a bit as it flies off the white hot steel.

I can recall ONE customer asking me what I was rubbing on the carpet, when I said Fels-Naptha her eyes crossed and she walked away.

 

[DAT]

Sbe didnt like that?

 

[Mikey P]

No, she didn't know know what Fels-Naptha meant..

 

[BIG WOOD]

While that subject is up, here's what Felt-Naptha means
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fels-Naptha

It's interesting what happened to the inventors of this stuff after they closed the doors. Philanthropy. There's so many ways that can be branched out to different types. I wonder what specific type of Philanthropy they got in. Such a weird, dramatic change in a career. It seems that they could continue to run the business and get into that field at the same time, which would help fund it. They mustve made a fortune off that business to be able to just turn the open sign off, and not needing to sell it

No matter how you spin it, a bar of soap is not very professional.

What if your doctor pulled out leaches to cure your ailment? I hear leaches really work for a cure.

My point exactly

 

[Mikey P]

But a unmarked spray bottle is seen as Professional?

I hate to over use a Martyism......



What's professional is getting out a stubborn stain in a matter of seconds and not bringing in a spotter bag and going through six or seven bottles before nailing it, if ever.

Part of being a professional is using the most effective tool for the job.

If it happens to be a bar of Fels Naptha then what is the problem? I keep one in the cell phone holder on my spotting belt. The belt is embroidered with my logo and gives off a professional look. If a customer sees me pull this magic bar of soap out of my bar of soap sized pouch on my pro looking belt, they can just keep watching and they will be impressed that I was so effective and efficient.......and professional.

Sometimes we as cleaners have to get out of our own head. Most customers wouldn't know Fels Naptha if it hit them on the head. The select few who know about it usually understand well, the value of such an effective and inexpensive tool.

 

[ruff]

Knowing Fels, a more accurate description will be that your belt gives off a professional scent.
I wish it didn't have such a strong grandma-ish perfumy smell. It makes small kids ask for candy
