Luckily, Amazon has you covered, as always, with the cleaning product that will save your floor coverings from anything your children can (and will) throw at them (literally).

Though you may not have heard of it before, reviewers are touting it as “magic” and suggesting its ingredients are “pixie dust and incantation,” it’s that good. Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover works on any colorfast carpets, upholstery, and materials that can be safely dampened with water. Its surfactant action removes pet accidents, grease, ink, red wine, coffee, blood, rust, food, cosmetics, dirt, grime, and even most old stains.

Oh, you don’t know what “surfactant action” means? Yeah, we don’t either. So, we found a great explanation on the chemistry of cleaning from The Cleaning Institute. Without being too science-y, surfactants basically trap the dirt inside it and let it be washed away. I mean, that does sound like magic!

Now it’s not an exaggeration to say that shoppers adore this carpet remover, especially for getting rid of pet-made stains around your home. One shopper called it a “lifesaver,” saying, “I never write reviews but this stuff SAVED the day today and I wanted others to experience the same. After cutting my toe and (unknowingly) leaving a trail of blood stains on my light gray carpet, I was horrified. I used this spray and it cleaned up every spot perfectly…not a trace of discoloration! It’s also worked perfectly on food stains that have been on the carpet overnight. Buy it now so that you have it on-hand in the event of an unfortunate spill…10/10 recommend!”

Another shopper added, “I sprayed the areas of my carpets that were stained and literally before my eyes, they were coming off so easy. Even removed candle wax stuck on my carpets INSTANTLY!!!!!”
