How to remove a spot right now

Take the bottle you have under the sink and a clean cloth. The steps stay the same for a fresh spill or an older mark, and you do them in this order without waiting in between.

  1. 1

    Apply to the spot

    Spray our formula directly onto the mark. Look down to see the fibers turn dark and wet as the liquid covers the stain.

  2. 2

    Agitate with finger tips

    Work the area gently with your finger tips. Watch for the damp circle to spread just past the outer edge of the spot.

  3. 3

    Blot with a cloth

    Press an absorbent cloth firmly into the wet fibers. Lift the rag straight up to see the color coming up onto the cloth.

The spot does not come back

Once the cloth comes up, the work is done. You do not have to rinse the carpet, vacuum the area or wait to see the result. The liquid in our trigger bottle does not leave a sticky coating on the pile.

Other cleaners often leave behind a soapy film that dries in the fibers. That film acts like a magnet for everyday dust and foot traffic. Over a few days, new dirt clings to the residue and forms a dark ring right where the old mark used to be.

Our formula is non-magnetic, so it releases the spill without leaving anything behind to pull fresh dirt in. When the carpet fibers dry, they stay clean. There is no soapy residue left in the pile, so the ring does not return later.

Check a hidden corner first

Test the liquid on a hidden corner of the material before you begin. The formula works on colorfast carpets, rugs and upholstery that can be safely dampened with water. Watch for any change in the color or the fiber before you move to the spot.

Different spills call for different steps. We wrote these notes to walk you through particular stains from start to finish, covering what to expect before you work on the spot.

Questions people send us

Is this safe to use around children and pets?

Yes. Our formula is safe to use around children and pets if used as directed. Keep the bottle itself out of their reach while you work.

Will this remove an old stain that has been there for years?

Most old stains come out, but not all of them. A marker once beat our formula. You will see what it can do the moment you blot the spot.

What does the liquid smell like?

The liquid is odor free and has no scent of its own. It does not add any fragrance to the room, and it does not take smells out of items.

What ingredients are inside the bottle?

Our formula is water based and non-flammable. It contains no VOCs, no CFCs, no petroleum and no solvents. It is just clean liquid.

Can I use this to clean my entire carpet end to end?

This is a spot remover made for individual spills. It is not intended for cleaning an entire floor or running through a carpet machine.

Where can I buy a bottle of Folex?

A retail partner sells our product. The buttons on this page lead directly to the store listing, as we take no customer orders ourselves.
