Where did the marks go? I looked in the air, I looked under my paper. What\'s it made of? Does it have to be pink?\n\nThis carpet cleaner caused the same dumbfounded confusion when "spray, rub, gone" actually worked. I\'ve obviously lost some of my childhood curiosity over the years, because I didn\'t try to figure out how the carpet stain disappeared. Who cares? It\'s gone! I practically skipped to the next room to try it out. The memory smudge of food, footprints, dog vomit. Gone. It even worked SOMEWHAT on the decade old mystery stain left behind by the previous owners that professional carpet cleaning couldn\'t remove.\n\nHow does it work? I don\'t care.\nWhat are the ingredients? Pixie dust and incantation.\nWhere did all the stains go? Away.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "So, instead of asking for recommendations, I want to give one.\n\nI skimmed an article about amazing cleaning products, and was drawn to this carpet stain remover. Sounded great, especially for the cost. So I got it and tried it on an old doggie pee stain I cannot remove. Well it worked, and it was so fast and easy to use. Spray, rub in with fingers or a scrub brush, wipe up with a dry cloth. Poof - stain is gone! I told my husband, I don't even care if the stain comes back, I'll do that once a week - worth it!\n\nSTAIN CAME BACK. So a few weeks later, the stain came back, I repeated the process but with more saturation, and more scrubbing. I know it's gross, but I smelled the rag to see if it smelled like dog pee - IT DID. So although I've tried 10 ways to get the stain up, this product actually gets 4 month old, repeatedly cleaned, dog pee stains out of carpets. Just wanted to share because I am in love!!!\n\nIf the stain comes back, it's needs more spraying, scrubbing, and wiping. That's all."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My car is over ten years old and my cloth grey seats are a bit grimey. The driver's seat and arm rest is pretty dirty due to my sweaty thighs and arms after working out (I should buy a seat cover lol).\n\nThis product was easy to use. Just spray very generously (when you spray and it looks like the stain disappears after spraying, you know you sprayed enough), I rubbed it in with my fingers, a scrub brush, and a mirofiber towel (I found that a dry mirofiber towel worked best) then let it dry!\n\nSome parts I'm going to have to go over because it wasn't until later I figured out a good technique, but for first time use I think this product did pretty well, just look at the pictures!!\n\nThe last picture of the back seat of my car, I wish I had a before (posted is the after). There were a lot of orange looking ring stains back there on the middle seat. I sprayed and rubbed with a towel and let it dry and was surprised to see it look clean the next day!\n\nI was surprised because usually with cleaners, the liquid just spreads the dirty stains to a new area and dries still stained, but not with this product!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I had a carpet stain from an air purifier that wouldn't budge with my typical store bought, go-to product. With all the positive reviews, I thought I would give this a try. I followed the instructions and tested it in an inconspicuous spot for color fastness. No issue, so I proceeded to spray it on my stain. It not only lifted the stain, but it also lifted the color of my carpet. Now I am left with an area that looks much worse than when I started. And what is up with the NO RETURN policy for this item?? My next step is to contact the company, as it states (on the back of the bottle) that it comes with a 100% money back guarantee. I contacted the company and they said that they do not sell their product on Amazon. Therefore, I do not qualify for the 100% money back guarantee."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I just have to write a review on this! We just bought a house and the previous owner and his adult son were quite lazy when it came to cleaning up spills. The very light carpet was stained from dumped drinks so I immediately had the carpet professionally cleaned and I actually watched him using stain removing products which did not work. I ordered this Folex spot remover based on the high reviews. With fingers crossed, I used it on the carpet stain. I actually put on a latex glove and I worked it down into the carpet because the carpet is a short, tight plush pile so it didn’t seem like it was getting down in there. I did this for about 5 minutes and then I covered with an old towel and stepped on it. I then just walked away leaving the towel in place. I came back about 10-15 minutes later, lifted the towel, and OMG, it was GONE. Completely gone!! This gentleman had also left a dining room set and all of the chairs were stained, one being particularly bad with what appeared to be spilled coffee or cola into the seat and then just left there. I have no doubt this stain had been there for many years and I had absolutely NO hope whatsoever that it would come out but decided to give it a try anyway after what it had done to the carpet stain. I did the same thing, sprayed very heavily onto the seat and allowed it to soak in for about 15 minutes before covering with a towel and just leaving it. I actually had forgotten about it and left the towel on over night. The next morning I remembered and lifted the towel and I just couldn’t believe my eyes. It too was completely gone. I just had to post pics of this because it was truly unbelievable. I cannot recommend this product enough.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The product itself is great. Removes stains perfectly.\n\nOne star is for how we received it and for the non response when we reported it.\n\nPackage came completely soaked. Upon further investigation bottle was sealed with plastic wrap but top was not screwed on completely, allowing for the liquid to seek out. So basically we received an empty bottle of Folex. Doesn’t do us much hood. Will not purchase again.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German Shepherd Mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissel carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady that goes arounds singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "WOW! A must have for any home. My carpet had some mystery stains that other stain remover products could not budge. I had resigned myself to never having them any better, until I found this product. It was very easy, spray it on, then put a paper towel on top and it disappears. Seriously! Included some pictures of before/after results after first use. There were a couple that I had to go back for a second time, but after having lived with these carpet blemishes for years... I was more than happy. I even used it on a cushion, you don't have to worry about harmful chemicals. You also get a lot of cleaner for your money, I was surprised at how big the bottle was, and you do not need to use lots when you apply, so this will last a very long time."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I\'m absolutely speechless. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I\'m baffled as to how this stuff works. I feel like I\'m in an infomercial demo where they spill red wine on a white carpet and then after spraying the "magic carpet cleaner", the stain vanishes.\nUnlike infomercial products that don\'t actually do anything when you try it at home, this stuff completely makes stains vanish before your eyes. Carpet cleaning products certainly don\'t excite me normally, but after watching how the spaghetti sauce that I dripped on the light beige carpet completely disappeared, I\'ve been telling everybody I know to buy some. The craziest part is that you don\'t even have to wipe it, you just spray it on and the stain is gone.\n\n**If my review was helpful to you, please click “Helpful” below!**'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'A few years ago I lied to myself when purchasing my Subaru Forester and thought I could keep my nice, light platinum interior clean. For those who are unaware, Subaru has a very light grey interior color offering that\'s called "platinum". When new, it is beautiful- light, happy, clean looking. If Joanna Gaines designed the interior of a vehicle, I think it would feature this color.\n\nAt some point, somehow, even though we have no children, a stain appeared on my back seat despite my best efforts to completely cover any and all upholstery I could. I tried oxi clean, I tried vinegar and baking soda, both to no avail. I had resigned myself to needing to pay for a full detail of my car, until I saw a car detailing video on youtube in which they used this product. So I thought hey, why not! $16 for this vs hundreds for a detail? I\'ll try it. And surprise! It worked great!!\n\nTips for using this product:\n-Spray more than you think you need. Dont be bashful, spray a good amount.\n-agitate more than you think you need. In the video I watched, the guy used a detailing brush to work this in (instead of fingers like the instructions state). I just used a cheap soft bristled paint brush from walmart.\n**you want to spray enough of this on where when you agitate with the paint brush, there is a slight foam.\n-when you think you have agitated enough, go at it some more\n-blot when done\n\nSome of the reviews here say it works better if you leave your towel on it for a bit- the spot on the seat I was trying to clean was vertical so I could not test this theory but it\'s worth a shot.\n\nThe first time I tried using this, I didnt use enough product or agitate enough. When I was done I blotted and walked away for a bit and I swear the stain looked worse when I got back, I assume because the product was lifting the dirt. I sprayed again (using more than last time), and agitated again (more than last time) and when I was done the stain had vanished!\n\nUltimately a great buy, worth the money to give it a shot on your own interior!!'}]
