Is there anything better than Folex carpet spot remover offered here?
It's an awesome product, if there's better do tell:)
 
I don't know if it's better than Folex, but I use CG Fabric Clean and there hasn't been a stain it hasn't tackled yet. Haven't used Folex so can't compare the two, but maybe others will be able to make a comparison. Fabric Clean and Folex seem to be the top 2 based on my daily following of threads.
 
Folex is so good and so cheap. I wouldn't think much could compare with both qualities folex has.
 
Folex 128 oz. = $15 = 11.72 cents/oz.

Fabric Clean 16 oz. = $8 = diluted 1:20 makes 336 oz. = 2.38 cents/oz.

Thanks,

Yeah it's cheap and works, there not a spot to can't remove, some call it a "miracle " spot remover.
Thing that gets me about it is the fact it works extremely good and cost little to nothing.

Just trying to make sure I'm not missing out on something even better.
When I say better I mean something with the same low cost but one that can be diluted, saying even Mo Money.

Thanks,

I just read one bottle will make you 20 bottles or more.
So I'll buy it and compare. :dblthumb2:

Folex is on avg. of $10.00 for a 34 oz bottle and can not dilute it.
Hmmmmm, makes one think, as always I get answers from you guys. :dblthumb2:

I agree, it's a product that makes you say wth. Lol
It removes anything.
Best way to use it is to spray it on a spot, work the product in with your fingers, by this time the spot is gone.

I'm always looking for better or for a better deal.
I ran out so ordered more, should have it tomorrow and plan on using it this weekend when I clean the interior on the RAV4.

Home Depot's website shows Folex for $15 for a gallon. That is where my numbers above came from. 36 oz. bottle with sprayer was listed at $5.78.

I just saw it at HD, better deal than what I pay for a smaller bottle.
Well only $4.00 more.

I really liked this stuff ^

but then again I know diddly squat compared to others here on AGO about interior detailing...

I bought Folex and Zep and I actually preferred the Zep stuff, I posted some pictures of the interior detailing I did on my car's carpet it came out good, I even did the up and down lines lol
 
OK folks, please let me ask this about Folex. (it was here I found out about this product, and have gone through a couple qts so far)

But, have any of you experienced how well Folex works with greasy stains, or other nasties that common carpet cleaners usually won't budge?
Thanks, Mark
 
Honestly, I have used everything from APC, OPC, CG's cleaners, Zep, etc. and find Folex to be both the safest and most effective.

Just wondering, why do you say "safest"? what happened with the other products that were unsafe?

Not sure what the other products he's referring to but Folex is safe.
Folex works miracles on very dirty floor mats.
 
I have yet to find a product that you can readily pick up on short notice at a reasonable cost that will produce the same results over and over. I use it for cleaning headliners, seats, floor mats and carpets. Folex gets the stains out. It is really only suppose to be used as a spot remover. Spray it liberally, work it in and blot with a white terry cloth towel. Stain is gone.

It does only say it's a "spot remover" but I use it to clean all fabric, seat, carpets, mats.
There's no rinsing required so that's a good thing when dealing with any type of fabric.
You can cut it too if the carpet, seats, headliner isn't very dirty, good way to maintain your interior.
I'm one that believes to not wait until the carpets become filthy, makes it harder to clean and at times forces you to use stronger product to get it clean again.

The Folex seems like a very aggressive product at how well it works but IMO it's gentle, I can spray it on my skin and feel nothing, weird how it performs.
 
i used a whole gallon folex, steamer, extractor, opc on a 10year old neglected 4 runner.. still didn't get the carpet 100%.

for avg dirt its great but what I just tried to clean.. just a waste
