Consumer Product Review: Goo Gone Pro-Power Stain Remover
Goo Gone Pro-Power allegedes to remove masking tape residue, paint and varnish, gum, grease and tar, glue, stickers, make-up, oil, wet paint, scuff marks, shoe polish, tree sap, asphalt, and candle wax. This means when you paint using masking tape instead of painters tape, you should be able to remove the evidence. When the kids sticker the side of their dresser, there is hope that the stickers and residue can be safely removed (once they outgrow the sticker stage.) Tree sap, grease, and tar that mysteriously appear on your car, as you drive through every construction site and pothole in the city should come off almost magically with Goo Gone Pro-Power.
All manner of “oops” around the house and garage should be wiped away with Goo Gone Pro-Power stain remover. Having been disappointed by similar products in the past, I approached this product with cynicism. My sister told me it worked to get gum out of her carpet, and fresh paint out of one of her daughter’s favorite outfits (which Dad decided she could wear to help paint the barn…?). My sister did say she had to treat it and wash it twice, but all but a tiny, inconspicuous fleck came off. The shirt is completely wearable, and as cute as ever.
My son used it to remove tar and grease off of his truck, around the rims and the tires. It took a little Goo Gone Pro-Power and a lot of elbow grease, but the stains came off. More important to me, the paint finish stayed on.
I tried it on a piece of candy that had been well ground into the carpet. The pink sticky color didn’t match my neutral tones in the living room. Goo Gone Pro-Power stain remover took it out.
According to direction, Goo Gone Pro-Power should be tested on a hidden area before using. I always skip that part. Whatever I’m trying to clean is already ruined, how much worse it can get. However, if you are a tad overly cautious, check it out in a hidden spot before applying it to furniture, clothing, carpet, or upholstery.
Apply a small amount of Goo Gone Pro-Power to the affected area. Allow a few minutes for Goo Gone to begin working its magic (or “citrus power and Scientific Technology” chemical reactions). Wipe with a clean white cloth. Then, gently clean the area with soap and water to wash away remaining residue.
Goo Gone Pro-Power experts advise you not apply the product directly to carpet. It may loosen carpet fibers. Apply to a clean cloth and blot the stain. Repeat as necessary, although it shouldn’t’ take more than a couple applications. Clean the area gently with soap and water and blot dry with a clean towel.
Goo Gone Pro-Power stain remover contains petroleum distillates and should be kept out of the reach of children.
I highly recommend Goo Gone Pro-Power for greasy, sticky, stain removal. Keep in easy reach of adults. You will find it very handy.
This product deserves at least four and a half out of five stars.
