TECH Stain Remover – Frequently Asked Questions
What makes TECH Stain Remover different from other stain removers?
TECH Stain Remover is specially formulated to remove tough stains from carpets, upholstery, and fabrics using safe, effective ingredients—without relying on harsh solvents or overpowering fumes. Trusted for decades, TECH delivers professional-grade stain removal designed for real homes and everyday messes.
Is TECH Stain Remover approved by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI)?
Yes. TECH Stain Remover is approved by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), meaning it meets industry standards for effectiveness and carpet safety. CRI approval helps ensure that TECH cleans without damaging carpet fibers or interfering with manufacturer-applied stain-resistant treatments.
Many stain removers do not carry CRI approval and may contain harsh chemicals or leave residues that can damage carpets or potentially void manufacturer warranties. Choosing a CRI-approved cleaner like TECH helps protect your carpet investment while delivering reliable results.
Will TECH Stain Remover cause stains to come back or attract dirt?
No. When used as directed, TECH Stain Remover does not leave behind sticky or oily residues that attract dirt. Proper blotting and rinsing help ensure the treated area stays clean, fresh, and free from recurring stains.
Can TECH Stain Remover remove old or set-in stains?
Yes, TECH Stain Remover can remove many older stains, provided the stain has not permanently dyed or bleached the material. Results depend on the stain type, how long it has been present, and the surface being treated.
Is TECH Stain Remover safe for stain-resistant or color-treated carpets?
TECH Stain Remover is designed to be safe for use on most colorfast, stain-resistant carpets and fabrics. Because materials and finishes can vary, testing in a hidden area is always recommended before use on visible surfaces.
What surfaces should TECH Stain Remover not be used on?
Do not use TECH Stain Remover on materials that may be damaged by water or moisture. Always test first on delicate fabrics, specialty textiles, or surfaces with unknown finishes.
Why is testing recommended before use?
Testing ensures the carpet or fabric is colorfast and compatible with TECH Stain Remover. Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area, allow it to dry completely, and check for any color change or damage before proceeding.
Are there stains TECH Stain Remover may not completely remove?
Some stains can permanently alter fabric color if left untreated too long. Certain food dyes, red beverages, mustard, or hair dye may stain fibers beyond removal. Early treatment provides the best chance for complete stain removal.
Is TECH Stain Remover safe for homes with children and pets?
Yes. When used as directed, TECH Stain Remover is safe for household use and does not require special ventilation. Allow treated areas to dry fully before children or pets return to the space.
Does TECH Stain Remover have strong odors or fumes?
No. TECH Stain Remover is formulated to be effective without harsh fumes, making it comfortable to use throughout the home.
