    Yes, Coffee remover is the strongest brown out we have. (2.5 PH) Orange Deodorizer is 5.5 PH. OD is not as strong but smells much better.

    2 gallon pump sprayer most of the time and uses the power sprayer for the FAE. Sometimes one of my operators sprays 101 with power sprayer and mists on OD straight. I prefer the first. Some carpets can’t take the OD straight without spotting.

    The way I saw it, was the Coffee Remover seemed to work a lot like red dye remover. It seemed to alter the stain like it became mostly transparent. I still went over it several times with the buffer. I feel protector previously applied helped a lot here. I’m I not understanding or answering your question?

    I’m going clear out on a climb here. Before I start I must say again each area is going to experience different results due to soil and other differences ie. humility, farm and ranch communities, city smog, soil PH, clay content, animals, and so forth.
    Over the last few months, in trying to do even better, we have altered the procedures of our cleaning to the extent our customers have gone from satisfied to ecstatic!
    We pre-vacuum, Spray FAE, let dwell, and go over with damp BBC pad (if carpet can take the BBC). This is very high on the PH side towards alkali. We buff here before the PH is deluded lower. Next we then spray 101 with orange deodorizer mixed. (This in turn is the lower side of the PH acid side). We almost always use the towel in our cleaning. Some soils and stains will be removed better with higher or lower PH. It is a lot easier the sell protector when the customers are thrilled! Either way the results (in my area) from customers comments have put my employees and myself on a whole new level of respect and admiration. It really feels good knowing they are not only satisfied but thrilled.
    I have waited to reply this post until I have had adequate time for a proven record (in my area) instead of just a theory. I hope this works in your area as well.

    Disclosure: Your results may vary. Do not seek professional help, and yes, try this at home!
    Warning: Do not put orange deodorizer through your power sprayer or upholstery mate.

    Good Question. But it was gone with out extraction. Most of it was gone by spraying and 3-5 minutes dwell time before buffing! Doug, I don’t want to come across cocky here, I drive a van without knowing everything about. If it works, so do I.

    Answer: Hot water. But not to hot. If it will burn your hands, it will kill the enzymes.

    I understand it could be used with an i-pad also.

    I finally used up the last of my old stock of coffee remover. I didn’t update my MSDS sheet and instructions with the new product in my owners manual in my van. Being in the customers home (no one home), I called “Little John” at corp. for instructions. I couldn’t believe the difference. Much, much less odor and much better results. (The coffee remover is 2.5 ph). I cleaned up a spilled pot of coffee with out an extractor in only a few minutes!!! I just sprayed it on. Used about 1/3 of the bottle and buffed, sprayed 101 mix and buffed again. Gone! I did use protector last time I cleaned there. I’ve since used CR for a lot of spots that in the past used orange deodorizer. The OD still smells better though. Try it!

    What do think of this? I noticed the advertisement in the NFIB (National Federation of Independent Businesses) magazine. It’s a credit card processing for internet phones. No hidden fees just 2.75% on everything. Is this good? Yes or no? https://squareup.com/
