I had Fabric clean in my cart ready to order until I read about Lightning fast. They both have a ratio of 1:20 which very economical in the long run. From what I gathered FC foams more and has odor eliminators while LF suppose to foam less. So which one to get?

I have both. Personally I like lighting fast better. Fabric clean does foam a lot. Unless you have a hot extractor I would go with LF. Both clean about the same

I use Fabric clean and i'm very satisfied with it. The remaining foam i usually suck up using a wet vac with no problems.

Is everyone using this at 20:1? Or stronger?

I am using FC at 20:1, and it seems to be working really good for me.

Not saying other fabric cleaners won't get these types of stains out but Lightning Fast seems to tackle just about anything.

Looks good Scott, what extractor are you using?

Here is an example of CG FC (20:1) that I did recently.

Either one will work just fine. Compare prices and base you decision on that. CG FC is pretty cheap and you will get a lot of use out of a small bottle with mixing it at 20:1.

I use Fabric Clean (20:1) and have had good luck.

General Consensus - You'll be good with either product!

I actually found 20:1 to not be effective so I mix mine at 7:1 with good results every time. Albeit it does foam a lot when I use it at that dilution so I very very lightly spray and it gets stains out no problem.

Steam, no extractor. Sometimes I bust out the small Bissell.

What's the process you use for steam? Spray, agitate, then steam and wipe away the excess with a towel?
I always extract with the bissell when doing carpets.
