I'll make your stains disappear.
Houdini is a professional all-purpose carpet and upholstery stain remover that works fast, is tough on stains and is gentle on fibres.

It’s also hugely popular amongst in-house facility cleaning and housekeeping departments who want professional stain removal results quickly, simply and safely.
Stain removal is by far the biggest challenge that carpet and upholstery cleaning professionals face. Your ability to deal with your client's stains will either make you or break you.

Carpet and upholstery spotting (bottle use)
- Test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the suitability of the product on the surface.
- Remove any debris or excess stain deposits. The longer stains are left, the harder they are to remove.
- Apply Houdini with a cloth or by spray. Do not over-wet. Gently blot the stain. Never rub. Agitate gently with a carpet rake or upholstery brush. Stubborn stains may require further light agitation.
- Leave for a few seconds or for stubborn stains allow 2 to 5 minutes dwell time.
- Blot away from the outside in. Use a disposable wipe, clean white towel or extract with a machine.
- Repeat or adjust the process if necessary.
Handy tips
- Always test first in an inconspicuous area before using any cleaning solution. Play it safe, especially when you use a product for the first time. Some surfaces can be sensitive to moisture and particular chemical types.
- Attend to spots and spills as soon as possible. Fresh spots are significantly easier to remove. Stains that are left too long can become permanent. Using the wrong product can also set the stain or permanently damage the fibre.
- Do your stain removal work from the outside of larger stains to the inside. This prevents the stain from spreading.
- Very rarely will any stain removal system resolve staining problems on carpets fibres and fabrics that are permanently damaged and discoloured.
- Houdini is also available in wipes. Experience an even better way to clean with our Houdini Carpet Spot Wipes.
