“Stain Solver” Cleans Most Anything

If so, try Stain Solver, an organic oxygen bleach that does an amazing job, says Tim Carter, who learned about the “magical cleaner” in 1995. In his research for cleaning wooden decks, the syndicated newspaper columnist for “Ask The Builder” learned about the bleach, which doesn’t smell at all like regular bleach. Instead, when the powder is dissolved in warm water (1 cup Stain Solver/1 gal. water) it releases billions of oxygen ions that attach to stain and odor molecules and break them into pieces. It’s non-toxic, fabric and color-safe, and will clean just about anything that is water washable. It contains super concentrated oxygen bleach (an oxidizer made in Houston, Texas), and dense soda ash (from Wyoming) that boosts the cleaning power.
“The longer you allow the solution to work on the item, the better. So for things that can be soaked in a pan, bowl or shallow pan it’s best to just submerse them,” he says. “Patios, decks, house siding, etc., you just apply the solution with a garden hand-pump sprayer in the shade and allow the solution to work. It’s best to try to let the solution work for 15 minutes before you start to scrub it.”
To make it easy for customers, Carter has several videos on the Stain Solver website that show exactly how to clean specific items: remove oil from concrete and algae from patio blocks, and clean upholstery and grout, for example.
“It’s extremely attractive to farmers because it’s organic. It’s non-toxic so you can clean stalls, equipment, concrete, clothing, farmhouse floors, bathrooms, etc.,” Carter says. “I wouldn’t use it on leather because it might change the color. It worked great on my German Shepherd’s fur when she tangled with a skunk, getting rid of the smell. You just never want to get the solution in an animal’s eyes or other mucus membrane. Treat Stain Solver as you would any chemical.”
It does not work on rust or hard water stains, he notes, and is not meant to be used on natural wool or silk, aluminum cookware, sterling silver or redwood siding or decking.
Carter sells Stain Solver in a variety of sizes online through his website. Prices start at $11.95 for 8 oz. to $173.21 for 50 lbs. (5-gal. bucket) shipping included to the contiguous 48 U.S. states and Canada.
