First day with the NUCLEAN Spotting Stick

[Mikey P]

One nice sized job I focused on working with it today. No prescrubing was done so some use on pie tin sized areas were performed where I did not use enough prespray.

Edit-Damn, I need a film crew and phoney customer set up like TMF, I just watched the 1st video and didn't realize I cut it off...that spot came out perfect on the first try...Sorry.

-Works great, got out everything the SnG didn't.
-One bar will not last for 101 spots like the label says. I'd guess less than 40.
-Rinses far easier than Fels
-I didn't take the cake/bar out before beginning to inspect the size but in this photo you can see it after that one job where I used it about 15 times.
-IMO the price needs to be much lower than $17.95 if they expect repeat customers(consider a bar of Fels cost 2 bucks and will last a month)

Fels does not have the same solvency/grease/oil eating action as the Clean Stick (that smells a lot like CTI's Pro Solve Gel) but being a cheap ass, I'd be inclined to continue what I've been doing rather than pay that kind of money every two days. Actually I could see going through a whole bar on a five job day of grease pits.


If their pre spray is anything like this stuff (and more affordable) it could be a huge hit!


Lots more to do tomorrow so stay tuned.

is that wool berber?
Nylon maybe??

if olie...you need more than fels or spEEd stick


..l.T.A.

 

[Mikey P]

Nylon but she's been using her home Bissell on it making mud.

Citro clean degreaser $8.00 a gal spray bottle no hands and knees and a tennis shoe takes 99 percent of problem areas out. I guess fels is cheaper just takes to long to get down and funky and this rinse way easier

 

[Mikey P]

I've been made aware that the 101 refers to TYPES of stains not amount of uses...


maybe if I get all 101 of them cleaned in under 24 hours I'll win a prize..

 

[FLYERMAN]

At that cost It would have to take out something that Fels didn't to be worth it. I do like the packaging. Thanks for the video.

 

[Mikey P]

The twelve pack price will be ten bucks each

 

[curt johnson]

A 12 pack for $10 is a good buy no matter what beer you're drinking......oh wait, wrong 12 pack.

Larry:

Fels works wonderfully on olefin.

Mikey:
You really need to liquify that Fels dude.

Yessir ...and about everything else too

how much fels do you add to the spray bottle?

 

[Mikey P]

had one today that after prespraying with 40 vol then Redline/ Percarbonate and HOSSing some pet stained areas were still dark so in honor of Pigdick I shaved off about a 1/4 inch of the NUCLEAN stick into my 2 qt pump up with mega hot water and POW!


gone!

 

[hogjowl]

Nothing scientific to it. I just grate up enough to fit in the palm of my hand.

 

[Jay_wat]

cool,, thanks for the info.

 

[tmdry]

Fels liquified would be killer

 

[mcatt]

I am going to have to try the FELS liquified like you said. That stick looks cool but the price per spot is to steep like you said.

 

[Mikey P]

the Fel's cake action is hard enough to rinse, does liquifying it cause it to rinse easier or worse?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I wonder if they ever thought of putting deodorant in one of those? I could see where it would work well for under you arms.

 

[Desk Jockey]

$18.00 bucks....a stick?
In my best Andrew Dice voice "Unnn F*cking Believable....get outta here with that!"

Great idea but no way would I buy it at that price, how about $18.00 for a case of 12?

 

[hogjowl]

Yes, liquifying Fels does seem to make it rinse easier.

And, try mixing it with 20 volume on pet stains.

Just shake bake and blow!

 

[Mikey P]

day four and I got to say, the WonderBAR kicks ass!


it really does get A LOT of stains out just like that. POW! GONE!!


but for $18 I'll stick with the 40 vol, Fels, Pro Solve 3 step option.


For $10 if I buy a dozen maybe,Id have to be a Nazi about it and hound my chimps not to over use it or leave em behind..


but I'd buy it by the truck load if it cost $5.99

Mikey,

Did you get any samples of the prespray? If it's the same mix as the stick should be able to mix a strong dilution of the prespray for spotting, or have no post spotting at all.


Ezra

 

[Mikey P]

yes I did.

The stick continues to impress us. It's much like Fels with a 40 vol boots, just quicker and rinses far easier.




Too early to tell on the prespray but so far it's doing what our other presprays do...

 

[Lyman]

The pricing on the sticks is changing, I think 12-13 for one stick and if you buy a case(?) the price should be 6-8 bucks. Mike, how much of the prespray are you putting in a hydro.

 

[hogjowl]

It's not possible for it to rinse easier than liquid Fels, unless it rinses before you put it down.
