i always washed both my kids stuff with our clothes with whatever detergent we used at the time.
Doesn't eat the glue. If you are using a home dry cleaning kit, be sure to treat the stain with the provided stain remover before putting the garment in the dryer bag. When you eliminate a good cleaning builder, it has to be replaced with something else. At minimum check the manufactures recommended cleaning methods. The Schluter product has much cleaner look, more on Schluter http://www.schluter.com/1_2_reno_u.aspx Advice appreciated.
Resolve rug cleaner in the pump bottle works wonderfully on clothes. It's shaped a little differently and isn't as heavy, but it … It disolved and removed that paint mess completely and relatively easily! I'm not sure, exactly what company pointed you in the direction of using "Active Plus" for household cleaning. I know the washer was an emergency and the rug cleaner is not....we'll see. I hope whoever got hurt is O.K. Be patient and allow the stain remover to work on the stain for at least 15 to 30 minutes. Big house.
I like this mixture for easy cleaning. I also had some type of industrial strength Arm and Hammer Pet oxy stain remover and to this day, I have a couple spots that still have residue from it. Shout ® Wipe & Go are portable, so you can use them to remove stains right away. This is a laundry forum afterall, but there are TONS of dedicated carpet cleaners out there - each with a specific purpose/stain. Can't think of an agricultural use. Anyhow, sorta blown away by some of the responses in the intial part of this thread.
@Jody, Dollar General sells the the "yellow" LA's totally awesome in a clear refill bottle.
Oh we also use vinegar for the cloth diapers. My one year one month old baby does not sit nor she crawls? Most Laundry & Dishwasher Detergents containing Enzymes, are in the amounts of 0.01% or 0.02%, which from my testing... is about one or two small particles (almost the size of a grain of salt) per tablespoon, if that. @sandy1616, The problem with Tide Powder is it contains Zeolites & Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate). .it a Family of Friends.
As for distilled white vinegar, it leaves no scent after it dries, but you could use clean water as some carpet padding can be damaged with vinegar.
(Our YMCA used the stuff also.) And Charlie's soap.. And I mean, really clean. If you put peroxide in a spray bottle and spray it on stains, the stains will most likely come out. Great thread! If not rinsed well I suppose there could be powdery residue.
