AlbaChem Alba Chem PSR Powdered Dry Cleaning Fluid 12.5 oz

Works to remove oil stains !

FANTASTIC! This stuff works like magic. Expensive but well worth it.

Good products, but doesn’t work on Stan I’ve been on a shirt for a long time

Handy to have for spots on clothing, and greasy spots on carpets

I used this on 3 couches. 2 look better; 1 looks worse. It worked best on the microsuede couch (the blue one in the pictures.). That couch now looks great. Although it was the least stained to start with. The worst part was the couch arm, where people had rested their hand/arm for years. The discoloration from the oils in skin is now completely gone. So I would be 100% satisfied with the results on this. The green one is an outdoor couch, and I let the grandkids eat on that one, so it had a lot of stains. It looks WAY better, although the stains are definitely not all gone. Some of them are gone and others are just less noticeable. I should probably note that this couch was previously Scotchguarded, so that probably helped. So I’d be 80% satisfied with the performance on this one. Unfortunately, on the orange one, the only stain that was there is actually much worse. It wasn’t nearly as pronounced before the treatment as it is after. So I’m going to have to take this to the dry cleaner to see if they can fix it. I hope it didn’t permanently make it worse. Fortunately, this cover is removable, so relatively easy to take to dry cleaner. I’ll update later to report on whether it’s fixable at the dry cleaner. A couple things to note; it takes A LOT of violent scrubbing with a brush for this to work. I wasn’t prepared for the amount of effort. I’ve been at it for more than 2.5 hours. I scrub, scrub, scrub til I’m exhausted and have to take a break, then go back at it. I’m serious that it takes a tremendous amount of effort to make it work. Even on the couch that was the least stained, I scrubbed and scrubbed. I finally resorted to a suede brush, which has wire bristles (but pretty soft wire bristles). That made it go a little easier. But, on the 2 couches that aren’t suede, it raised a lot of nap, so now instead of stains, there are fabric pills. But for me, that’s still better than stains. Also, everything in the vicinity, including you, will be covered with powder when you’re done. So be prepared to dust and vacuum everything as soon as you finish. And, even as hard as I scrubbed, it’s clear I didn’t get all the powder out. I’m sure we’ll all be brushing powder off our butts for weeks to come. So don’t do this the day before you have company coming, unless you want them all to have white butts. So, my overall rating is 3. 5 for the blue microsuede couch; 3-4 for the green outdoor (previously Scotchguarded) couch, and 0 for the orange couch, which got worse. And it’s a lot of work, a lot of cleanup after, and residue hanging around for a while.
