Folex should sit for 2-5 minutes before blotting or scrubbing.
Folex Carpet Spot Remover is designed to work quickly on stains. Apply the product directly to the stain, let it sit for 2 to 5 minutes to penetrate the fibers, then blot with a clean white cloth or paper towel. For tougher stains, a second application may be needed. Avoid letting it dry completely before cleaning, as this reduces effectiveness.
Recommended sitting times for different stain types
| Stain Type | Recommended Sitting Time | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Light stains (coffee, juice) | 2 minutes | Blot immediately after time is up |
| Moderate stains (food, mud) | 3-4 minutes | Gentle scrubbing may help |
| Heavy stains (pet accidents, wine) | 5 minutes | Repeat application if needed |
Common mistakes to avoid
- Letting Folex dry completely before cleaning
- Using too much product (more isn't better)
- Scrubbing aggressively before the product has time to work
- Not testing on an inconspicuous area first
Tips for best results
- Use a white cloth to avoid color transfer
- Work from the outside of the stain inward
- Blot, don't rub, to lift the stain
- Rinse with water if residue remains
