Carbona STAIN DEVILS #3 INK/CRAY 1.7oz

When I was little everyone in the family used to drop off their tough stains at my Grandma’s house. She always asked what made the stain, if it wasn’t obvious. When I was in college and could no longer get to Grandma’s, I called to ask her what to do about a stain and she turned me on to Carbona Stain Devils! I have been using them for 35 years now. A regular stain spray sometimes just isn’t enough, but these never fail because they are specifically formulated for the particular type of stain. I have only had to retreat a tough rust stain on a white tee shirt with this product once, otherwise it has always worked on the first try. Just read and follow instructions. Remember to check stains before throwing the item in the dryer; once dry they are much tougher to remove. These can get a bit expensive when you have very messy grandkids and you’re the grandma, so I usually try a cheaper spray remover on their clothes first and if it remains this is my go to! I suggest buying a pack with a variety of formulas to start and then replacing the single bottles as you run out.

Very impressed with this stuff. I somehow slept with a pen in bed and got ink marks all over a white duvet. Tried every stain remover I could find before ordering this stuff. I used it undiluted. It took a couple of rounds but it got 95% of the ink marks off. The best part is - it doesn't smell toxic or overpowering. TIP: Use a cotton bud to apply. I dabbed some solution on the bud and then patted/rubbed into the stain. This meant I wasn't wasting any of the solution (the bottle is very small).

Didn’t work. A pen was in my daughter’s pen when it went into the dryer. Ink on clothes. Ink on dryer. None of it came off. Not even a little.

white lace shirt (see pics) came out of the dryer full of horrendous ink stains. Washed AND DRIED! Ended up using 2 bottles & got 98% of it out! I thought for sure the inky water (when rinsing) was gonna deposit back onto my shirt- nope. Also, I let it sit for 40 min the first time & an hour the second time. Lite scrubbing involved. This stuff did not ruin my fabric either albeit my shirt is mostly Polyester. The marks on my shirt are sooooo faint now. Plan to do another treatment to see if I can get it completely out. Thoroughly impressed with this product!

This product did not work at all - stains are still there. I followed the instructions and nothing happened. To me it's not worth 1 star but I had to leave something.
