Remove Stains, Even Old Stains with Amodex
How do you remove a stain, even an old stain from a favorite piece of clothing?
In the past, I made a bigger mess out of a stain by trying to remove it with assorted stain removers.
I have donated and thrown away many favorite stained pieces of clothing.
Not anymore.
I was shopping at a Giant Food store and I saw a little bottle of something on display called Amodex, ink & stain remover. On impulse I purchased it.

Shortly after that, a mysterious grease stain appeared on a favorite top.

Amodex directions:
-
Put a white paper towel or white cloth underneath the stain on the wrong side of the top.
-
Saturate the stain with Amodex which is more like a jell than a liquid.
-
Use old toothbrush and pound the stain.
-
Keep moving the paper towel or cloth to an unstained area as stain moves out of fabric.

I discovered that Amodex will remove old stains as well as fresh ones.
(With old stains, you may have to do more than one application and wash)
Amodex comes in several sizes. The 1 oz size costs about $5.99 and the larger size is costs about $14.99, but if you are hesitant, try the smaller size first.

Crayola,Liquid Paper, Pilot Pen and Sanford Sharpies all recommend Amodex on their websites for product stain removal.
Amodex Ink & Stain Remover is a lanolin-based soap in a cream formula. There are no product ingredients listed other than lanolin. Lanolin is a non-toxic yellow, waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals, usually sheep. It is often found in skin lotions and has industrial uses as a lubricant, emulsifier, and water repellent.
Amodex is sold as a stain remover for any type of ink from fountain pen to stamp pads to whiteboard markers to permanent ink. It is also recommended for food stains, blood, crayon, lipstick and cosmetics, hair dye, tree sap, tar and most pet stains (doesn’t work on cat urine). Amodex will not remove rust or mildew and mold stains. Not only can Amodex be used on all types of fabric in clothes and upholstery – including leather, it can also be used on laminate, wallpaper, linoleum, paint, plastic, wood, appliances and all types of countertops.
It is suggested that Amodex be tested on colored fabrics in a hidden area to check for colorfastness. Amodex should always be applied to a dry garment – not wet – for best results. The product is applied directly to the stain and then rubbed in with a fingertip or soft brush, like an old toothbrush.
Amodex is available in the following sizes:
-
.5 ounce applicator tube
-
1 ounce bottle
-
4 ounce economy bottleThe products are can be purchased at some retailers including Hobby Lobby, Office Max, The Container Store, Giant and Stop and Shop. It can also be ordered online directly from Amodex or other online sources.
