I’ve used this stuff on a week-old strawberry smoothie stain (on a blue and white rug), chocolate stains on fuzzy pillows, and other mystery stains, and have seen it for myself — it really does work! It’s great for all kinds of stains, like oil, makeup, food, dirt, rust, ink, and wine; even if they’re years old. (It won’t work on, say, hair dye stains, though. It’s a cleaner, not a bleach.)
Get it on Amazon for $6.65.
Promising review (from the pictured B&A above): “If you are ever thinking you might need this, TRUST ME you do! My two-year-old threw up chocolate milk on our cream carpet. It was a complete disaster. I tried everything and nothing even made a dent in it, until this. It’s also scentless, which was great because I got the stain up right before my little girl’s bedtime. TOP NOTCH!” —Jillian Briggs
