Hi everyone! I have each of these proucts and wanted to do a test to see which one fairs better. I have a large piece of light tan carpet, and wanted to see how each did with the following stains.

1. Blood
2. Wine
3. Ink
4. Grease
5. Oil
6. Spaggetti sauce
7. Grape Jelly

I just need a little help in how to go about the test, so that I can really tell what's the most effective test for each product.

What I mean is Should I test the removers immediately after the stain was made, or 24 hours later, or 5 days later, or some combination of those.

I'm really interested in seeing the results! Thankyou,and have a good day!
 
i'd give them a week, most stains you'd have to remove if you have customers are going to be old
 
How will you conduct this experiment? Three sets of carpet with each of the stains? Then spray stains and hand scrub or use extractor?
 
john b, that was hilarious, the goodfella thing too!

Yeah, this is what I was going to do, but don't know if there is huge difference it and people blood. I was going to by either a steak or ground from store and squeeze it on. Don't know, U think it'll Pass?
 
Is your carpet sample: "automotive-carpet"?
Is it of natural or synthetic materials?
Does it come with/have "automotive-padding/backing"?

IMO...You need certain protocol for 'Comparative Testing'.

I don't have an answer for you but noticed you are new and from Aurora. There are a few of us around.
 
If I remember anything right from college, you should have :

An equal and controlled environment

The exact same amount of each stain (maybe a dropper)

Exact same amount of each product

Like Bob Said - the material used matters and should probably be used for each

The same agitation process for each

Id like to see steamer vs. extractor myself:hungry:
 
Howdy to all the Aurora, IL. people! And thanks everyone, I will take all advice into account. And continue to welcome suggestions.

Folex!! :) just washed a 3400 sq ft home and used two mega sized bottles of folex, cream carpet and all stains came out and I never scrubbed :D
 
I am going tomorrow to pick up a large square of living room carpet from my grandfather. It is light tan and clean.

I am going to apply the same measured amount of each stain to the folex section, then the 303 section, then the adam's section.

Oil
Blood
Grease
Ink
Coffee
Red Wine
Grape Jelly
Spaggetti Sauce

Gonna let stains sit for a week.
I will use the same method of agitation for each stain for each product.

And same method of blotting or wiping up.

Will use the same exact amount of product on each stain.

Once I pick up the carpeting I will state what type of material it is.

For the following week I'm going to try to find some Automotive fabric or descent carpeted floor mats to test on.

To see the difference there as well. Still any helpful tips for this test are encouraged and welcomed. And possible help with how to get the digital video on the forum( I've never don that before.)
