| Q - Hey Jim, You recommended the spotter, Stain Zone. What about Avenge? |
| By Jim Pemberton |
| Wednesday, Dec 19, 2007 08:54 |
| Stain Zone is a new advanced technology oxidizing (bleaching) stain remover that is safe for all synthetic carpet fibers. You just spray it on a stain that doesn't come out in normal cleaning (especially coffee or urine and other unknown yellow or brown stains) and over minutes or sometimes hours the stain simply fades away. You don't need to rinse afterward. A - Avenge is an excellent "general purpose spotter", designed to remove spots when a full cleaning is not planned or needed. You'll remove most spots in cleaning because of the efficiency of our superior traffic lane pre-sprays, but if you need to spot without cleaning, or if you have a stubborn spot that contains a lot of sticky sugar, fine particulates (like copier toner), or similar spots, Avenge is definitely a good choice. |

| Q - Jim, Can I switch out Power Point liquid concentrate for Point Blue powder concentrate? |
| By Jim Pemberton |
| Monday, Dec 10, 2007 08:59 |
| A - Yes. Power Point is a great easy to dilute, liquid cleaner. Point Blue, being a powder, is a bit more work to dissolve, but powders are always more aggressive cleaners, work better if the water is hard (such as well water), and can have better degreasing qualities where high amounts of petroleum or fat are present. |

When Bad Things Happen To Good Cushions
Jim Pemberton
I received a series of emails and calls this week from two different fine fabric specialists about gross contamination of cushions on upholstery. Specifically vomit and urine. In each case, a guest in the home was the source of the "contamination". The major difference in each was not the contaminant, but the type of fiber in the fabric, the value of the furnishing to the customer, and the risk the cleaners were taking. . . .

Upholstery Spot Removal Warnings
Jim Pemberton
Holiday gatherings always increase the likelihood of spills in the home. At these times its vitally important to remember that fine fabric upholstery cannot be treated like carpet or clothing, and that more damage is caused by attempts to remove spots than the spots themselves. Here are a few tips to share with your customers (and to remember yourself!) . . .

RESIDUES: Good or Bad?
Jim Pemberton
The word "residue", when used in the cleaning industry, is almost always seen in a negative light. Looked at objectively, residues are really only "bad" when they create a problem. . . .

21st Century "Fine Fabric Care" Procedures
Jim Pemberton
I've spent nearly three quarters of my lifetime working with upholstery cleaning products, tools, and procedures. Over that period of time, the largest single obstacle to a cleaner's confidence in becoming a fine fabric specialist was the fear caused by the perceived complexities of fabrics, testing, as well as the cleaning chemistry and procedures. . . .
