I’m not sure how to use and when to use Dry Solvent.
I’ve tried it on several different things, but they didn’t budge.
Michael,
Dry Solvent, in my personal opinion, is one our best products. It can be used for tar, gum, oil based issues, paint,fingernail polish, ink and even candle wax. It can be applied directly to the problem . . . with a caution that it should be for a limited time and flushed out. It is one of our products that can soften the glue in the backing of carpet. It also works well applied to a cloth and then to the problem area. We keep a bottle with our extractor at all times.
I feel both are great products. My first line is dry solvent for oil, tar, grease, gum etc. If that doesn’t work for me, I would go to TGP. I like Dry S. a little better because is leaves less residue. TGP works great but will leave more residue to attract soil if you don’t flush it out well. Just my opinion though . . .
Something that you may or may not know is that TGP works great on tomato stains. I couldn’t really tell you why, but it works!
Good discussion!
Also dry solvent works well for the glade plugins that leak under every outlet.
I used dry solvent for the 1st time last week on a large dried paint spill, TGP did not touch it but the dry solvent instantly started to liquefy the paint so I could extract it out.

I believe dry solvent is a much safer product than TGP in regards to the effect it can have on the glue in the backing of the carpet. We, like Bryan Ferris, use it for many gum and petroleum type spills.
