1975: Where TECH Began

In 1975, customers visiting their local carpet stores were searching for a safer, more reliable way to remove tough stains—without the harsh chemicals, fumes, or uncertainty common at the time. That demand sparked the creation of TECH. When no product met those expectations, the founders set out to develop their own solution.

The result was Final Answer Carpet Cleaner, a breakthrough formula that delivered consistent stain removal while using safer, more thoughtful ingredients. Building on early success and continued innovation, TECH later introduced TECH Stain Remover—a more versatile, all-purpose stain remover designed to tackle everyday messes throughout the home.

2003: Expanding the TECH Family with Stain-X

In 2003, TECH Enterprises Inc. expanded its reach by acquiring the Stain-X® brand from Positive Products, opening the door to new markets and growth opportunities. The addition of Stain-X broadened TECH’s product lineup and introduced the brand to the independent vacuum retail industry—a trusted distribution channel that continues to serve customers today.
