For old stains, can i just fill a bucket with water and put the tablet inside with it and then put in the item? Will that work?

You need to be sure to mix according to instructions... Not sue if it will work, but a good chance it will

Each tablet makes about 16oz of product, so you would need the appropriate number of tablets, if it's a fabric you're trying to save, you would also want to check for colorfastness. I don't see why it wouldn't remove the stain and/or odor though.

I wouldn't use Fizzion for this. I would use OxyClean instead. OxyClean works a little like Fizzion.

never tried it but don't see why it wouldn't work. I wouldn't leave the item soaking for too long though--you never know.

Have you tried White Bright? I just read about it in a blog and found it here on Amazon. It says it can do this, in the description, Going to try it for something white with a red stain that also bled. Let me know if you found something that works though? Thanks! : )

I think the smell is a little different but it works the same way. It's very concentrated and the tablets are quite large. I cut them down to about eight pieces and put the piece into a zip lock bag. One of the concentrated tablets is for 5 gallons of water so you can tell you will have this product for a very long time. You can't beat the stain removal.

Yes. It absolutely works. The stains will return over time but just use it again. The stains disappear right before your eyes.

I just put it in bucket a NS squeezed red portion and pumped it out. It can siphon if there is a difference in levels.

I don't know. We use year round so I just hand wash and refill. When my old one would get stained from tea, I would fill pitcher with water and add some bleach. this would take the stains out in about 5 minutes.

This worked great for me, with my pet spot Bissell machine, I had a red dye kitty dry food (vomited) stain. One time, with the set in stain option, took it right up-you'd never know it was there!

I've wondered this also. I haven't tried cleaning tablets in mine but I would think not since they bubble up and it would probably make a mess if not do damage to the machine.

I love this product !!! It works on new stains as well as old, dry stains. To remove old, dry stains I mist the stain with water (mist only to moisten the top layer; do not moisten down to the pad ). Let stain sit a little while and then continue using the product as though the stain was new.

We have not tested this ourselves, but we can't think of a reason it wouldn't work. You may want to test it first before putting any valuable items in with it, just in case it stains or damages anything.

No, I do nothing and that is what the directions say. All you do is add the pellets to the WARM water, wait about 20 minutes (to let the pellets disolve) and spray. If the area is really bad you might need to spray a couple of times. This works better than anything I have ever used. In my basement after I used the fizzion (where my cats are) I later (after fizzion dried) shampooed my carpet, but is was not necessary for any staining and odor. This also has NOT left my carpet with bleached stains or any damage.

No. If anyone is worried about staining, be sure to dissolve the color tablet fully in water instead of letting it sit against the tub. (Even though I've had it sit directly on the tub as the tub has been filling, and it has not stained. They wash up easily.) But once it is fully dissolved, there is nothing left to leave a stain or a residue. You can do this by filling up the tub first, or by dropping it in a cup of water. The water is just colored. It isn't a staining color. Even when you dip a cup into the water, usually the water that you have in the cup, looks clear. Yet, the color in the tub can be dazzling and strong, depending on how many tints you use. My kids have used these for years, in many different tub types, and with lots of tub toys. We have never had a stain. Hope this helps.

I have never done that, but I don't think it would be a problem. I use mine for food storage such as grains, sugar and flour. They are supposed to be okay for anything. I would think it would stain, but I don't see that as a problem.

I've made homemade pasta sauce and chili in my big pots no problems with stains.. Just a 20-30min soak in really soapy hot water

Get some Caffezia and let the filter and column soak for a couple of hours. You can't see inside but everything will be clean & shiny.

You can buy tablets at any sporting goods store that will clean and disinfect. I always clean and hang mine upside down after every use. I hope this helps.

You can use it anywhere you can use a cloth pad with steam. As far a removing stains, it is just a cloth pad with steam. If steam will remove a stain, then it will work. By the way - in general this unit puts out too much steam even at the lowest setting and it is not possible to reduce the amount of steam further. (Too much steam because the pad gets soaked thru very quickly). I would look for a steam mop with a trigger to release steam. I had one like this before the handle broke and it worked much better than the B&D.
