Removing tough stains in home carpets

[R.Smith]

At one time they dumped the gasoline into rivers because they had no use for it. It was a by product of making kerosene. I have catalogs from the turn of the last century that advertise gasoline lamps for inside your house, gasoline stoves too. They didn't go over so well.

In my experience the best stuff I've used for carpet stains is Folex. It sells for about $6-7 or so at Lowes for a quart of it in a spray bottle and that stuff works wonders. I used it to clean out the interior on the hunting truck and it did an excellent job of cleaning the carpet up(believe me there were some pretty bad stains and to make it worse the carpet is beige ). If it doesn't remove the stain, chances are no cleaner will or at least not any that I've tried. Here's a link to there site: http://www.folexcompany.com/

Sorry, I missed your link earlier. That's not the same stuff. The Awesome I have is yellow and has no citrus and the only place I know of that sells it is Dollar Tree. It probrably comes from China and is toxic! Then again, most of the good stuff is! Like leaded gas.

I've got a 5 gallon jug of out of 30 year old, out of production cutting fluid that I've been nursing for 4 years now. Great stuff.

Any way you could find a link of the stuff and send it to me? My wife found some stuff at Lowe's called Awesome something. It is in a red spray bottle. Pretty sure this isn't the same stuff.

This was what my wife got. Is it just called Awesome or is it LA's Totally Awesome?

Yes, it's LA's Totally Awsome. Sorry. I've always just called it "Awesome"

So, is what you have the 2nd bottle, not the first bottle?

Best stuff I have ever tried, should be able to find it at AutoZone or a similar place.
