    I also use the steam iron on coffee & tea. I have very little success with either. Patrick, dry solvent is the fastest way I have found to remove gum.

    I agree with Bryan on both points.

    I also follow up with dry solvent but getting most of the gum up with steam and a towel I find it faster then drysolvent alone.

    Dirtbag,

    I rarely have success getting out coffee and tea no matter which method I try.

    if I could be better at removing coffee and tea stains, as well as golf, I’d be a happy boy

    Is it true, does anyone know, if our coffee and red dye remover continue to work after we leave? Has anyone returned to know for sure?

    Is it true… coffee and red dye continue to work after leaving?
    Red dye, Yes! Coffee not sure.
    I have gone back to jobs 6-9 months later, (more than one) where the area exposed to sun light continued to work after I left. even to the point that I could find it.
    …it is true!

    What about lots of red finger nail polish?

    Nail polish: solvent type stuff like tgp, or dry solvent. I’ve had the best luck with non-acetone nail polish remover. If there is a red stain left, red dye remover might work.

    Nail polish we can get out but takes a very long time and I haven’t found anyone who wanted to pay for it when it has been a big spill. Minor ones all of the previous suggestions work.

    As for the nail polish question:
    I have mixed non-acetone remover with our TGP and had very fast and very good results. This was a very deep spot about the size of a lemon. I looked for the spot yesterday that I removed a year ago. Still looks great!

    What was the mixture? I am assuming half and half.

    Actually, I didn’t mix the two products together in a bottle, I just applied both to the spot at the same time.
