1001 Troubleshooter stain remover > Reviews

Advantages: Does the job well, smells quite nice
Disadvantages: You have to buy it!

1001 is a well known name in most households, synonymous with cleaning ability and stain removal. Well this 1001 Troubleshooter certainly lives up to it's name. It is a carpet and upholstery stain remover. We have fairly light coloured carpets, not a wise choice really when you use a coal fire and have three grandchildren who always forget to remove their shoes after going outside in the mud! Nevertheless we are stuck with our carpets as new ... Read review

...one that stood out was 1001 troubleshooter, in a bright yellow bottle with a blue label, on the label it states Stain remover for carpets and upholstery , attacks stains and dirt FAST. This cost me 2 pounds and came in a 500ml bottle. Got home and whilst the kids are at school I decided to have a go at cleaning my stairs (more like needing a miracle, I thought). I read the instructions, cover stain with foam and work foam from the outside to the ... Read review

...is when I bought this 1001 stain remover. I was abit concerned whether or not it would work being £2.09 I didn't want to waste my money but I had to try something and it state on the label 'attacks stains and dirt fast'. I was pleasantly surprised. It does work and very simple to use as long as you use it the stain remover straight away. Just rotate the nozzle to open, cover the stain (in my case baby sick) with foam and using a damp cloth just ... Read review

Advantages: got my carpet clean
Disadvantages: still a very slight tea mark

I had a bottle of 1001 stain remover as I was going to need to use some after the builders have finished trailing mud and cement through the house. So after cursing my husband I found the 1001 it is in a yellow plastic bottle with a blue squirt nozzle and followed the instructions. I blotted up as much tea (yes it was nearly a full cup spilt) with a cloth then I pointed the nozzle at the centre of the stain and squirted white foam came out ... Read review

...cream carpet! I had some 1001 Troubleshooter spray in my cupboard that i'd bought in as a provision and never used so i thought i'd give it a go. And to my amazement it worked. He's been sleeping in the hallway for 2 and a half weeks now with quite a few little and not so little accidents and i'm pleased, if a little surprised, to say that 1001 has stood up to challenge very well indeed and removed every last trace of puppy poo! The cons as far ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to understand and use
Disadvantages: No improvement seen until finished.

...in I got out the 1001 Troubleshooter!!! Spray it on, let it soak in a bit, and then with a clean damp cloth rub it in to the carpet working from the outside in. Leave it to dry and then hoover. Now I have to admit that when the carpet was still wet I didn't really notice much difference. Now this might cause people to rub more than they have to, or it might discourage them altogether. However once it has dried, and you hoover, it does look a lot ... Read review
