    Carpet Cleaning

    Has anyone tried Folex carpet cleaner? I have heard it works pretty well. Also, when something calls for a 10:1 dilution ratio (say for example folex and water), does that mean 10 parts h2o or 10 parts folex?
    - Thanx

    I think the first number is water. But I'm not positive.

    I used Folex and it works great!

    Your right, Folex works great. I use full strength for spots.

    I used it full strenght for some spot cleaning.

    Justin is a big fan of woolite (diluted) for cleaning carpets. I don't recall the ratio. Do a search on his posts and I'm sure you will find it.

    Always test before you use like an inconspicuous spot. I use most of the time 50/50, a little more or less in my green machine.

    Never needed Folex .... I have found Wolfgang Spot Remover works well on those nasty spots. I have found DP Interior Cleaner works well on normal cleaning (just needs a little air as heavy scented) and I use a little Woolite on light spots and the headliner.
