hi S.. when my son was born i realized that stains were going to be my enemy. i remembered my mom using stain stick when we were growing up. but i couldnt find that at the time. so i bought shout. that was 2 1/2 years ago and have never switched. it doesnt take out dyes. but it is great and i never have to pre spray. i just spray when i am about to wash the laundry. plus its cheap. take care A.

I'm not sure if this is with every carpet type but I have just found out that with berber carpet the best thing is white ammonia with water. It is amazing how good it works

It depends on what the stain is on.... if it is anywhere in your house like walls, toilets, counters ANYTHING but carpet and clothes, use the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers! They take off EVERYTHING!! I swear by them.
And if it is on your carpet I just got a great carpet cleaner. It is Resolve, but in a can, not the spray bottle. My dog recently threw up and it was flourescent yellow/green and it got it out before I even started to scrub it. Good stuff!

The best stain remover I have found is the Dollar General brand of laundry stain remover. I spilled lemon butter sauce on a favorite blouse and SHOUT would not take it out. I had washed and dried the blouse and I used the Dollar General stain remover and the stain came out completely. It is all I use now and it is really cheap, too. Hope it works for you as well.

I have had lots of luck with the OxyClean spray - carpets, clothes, etc. On my daughters clothes that are white (or mostly white), I use Clorox Bleach Pen - works GREAT (also good on grout)!

Oxy clean gets out the toughest carpet stains. On clothes it is good too, but I also like Zout and clorox bleach pen

Spot Shot!

I only bought this because there was a coupon in the Sunday paper & thought I'd give it a try. This stuff cleaned out all the stains in my carpet that Kiwi Carpet Cleaner didn't get out!
