Got some today, going to have  aplay tonight.

How much do I add of the powder to a litre of water?

Got this from Home Brew Shop says on tub, 1 teaspoon per pint of water but thats obviously for sterilising etc.

How much do I add for the ol stain removal.

Thanks

I got my last tub of 500gms from a CC chemical supply company and it cost about £11.00 + vat.

I used some today on a Lucasade stain and there is was gone.

ps. TEASPOON did the same for me thats why I typed Tea S p o o n.

We have Sodium Metabisulphite on the van but I personally dont like to use it unless we have too. It sets of asthma even if we use a mask.  We end of coughing and sputtering.

Is anyone else effected in the same way.

It does the same for me, but does the job.

I've used Sprayandgo a few times.  Hot water, 1litre, one scoop of S&G.

Only worked once.  Other times it 'bleached' the surrounding carpet.

Any tips for me?

thanks

Mark,

As you have discovered, this is a product best reserved for 'last resort' treatments.

On a carpet not prone to celulostic browning, wetting the surounding carpet before application can help prevent this "halo effect".

Do not be tempted to use an acidic rinse for this purpose as sodium metabisulphite produces a toxic gas in contact with acids.

John.
