ive used it and got some stains out that  i normally wouldnt but i used it on a urine stain and it turned the carpet purple so i think you need to qualify with the customer that you are using a spotter that effects the dyes in the carpet and there could be different results.

I have been using peroxide and ammonia for years but I thought I'd give dye gone a try and it seems to be better.

Yes its good stuff as has been said youve just got to be careful about skin contact as it doesnt wash off and qualify with the customer 1st as it can effect the colour of the carpet aswell in some situations.

used it yesterday for the first time on an unknown stain that i couldn't budge with everything in my usual arsenal, and this did the trick.
scary stuff especially when it starts foaming and makes the carpet look white, eeeek.
its a must but it will always be my last line of attack.
stinks to high heaven as well.

I was talking to John and Lynn about it at Restormate earlier this week and they are getting very positive feedback from cleaners who have used it, several people are now buying it by the boxful.

It's probably one of those products you should have in your toolbox, but only to be used with care and when necessary.

I can second that. My most sceptical (and best) carpet cleaning customer dismissed it as "Just Helpmate, nothing new!" So I gave him a kit to trial and he ordered a case & 2 sprayers on his next order.

Craig,
I used to use it too but when it started to be made over here it ended up being useless, maybe they changed it back to the orginal formula now.

Yes I agree Simon, I had it cause browning a few times, since they been making it here.

Hopefully they sorted the formula now.
