Stain magic

[SRI Cleaning]

What are the 2 parts to stain magic? Ammonia and peroxide?

 

[Brad_Smith]

$.97 grocery store ammonia and $5 a quart ( if not on sale ) 40 vol peroxide from sally beauty supply. It does feel a little weird going in there. So for $6 bucks you get the same thing as $30 stain magic.

Are they mixed equally?

Yep, equal amounts. Let the customer know about the ammonia smell and about getting peroxide on their skin.

I'm pretty sure there is more to it. I think there is some sodium hydroxide(lye) added to the peroxide to raise the ph and probably some surfactants to penetrate better.
I wanted to try adding the sodium hydroxide to the amonia but after reading the warnings on it decided it wasn't worth messing with. I happenned to have some of Hydramaster's Blitz on the truck which contains hydroxide and has a mixed ph of 12.5. I added that to the amonia and it seems to give better results.

WAIT!


I thought it was Chlorine bleach & Ammonia???




No wait that's the Kevorkian waste of a life stain removal system.

Are you sure BLITZ contains lye?
In a powdered form?

That would be news to me!
