Two solution stain removal systems and methods comprising an alcohol-based solution and a peroxide-based solution
Systems and methods are provided for removing a stain from a surface. A first solution is applied to the stain, wherein the first solution comprises a combination of an ammoniated substance such as ammonium hydroxide and an alcohol such as isopropanol. A second solution is then applied to the stain treated with the first solution, wherein the second solution comprises between approximately 6% and approximately 15% hydrogen peroxide.
1. A stain removal system, comprising:
a first container holding a first solution comprising:
between approximately 3% and approximately 9% ammonium hydroxide; and
between approximately 70% and approximately 98% isopropanol; and
a second container holding second solution comprising:
between approximately 6% and approximately 15% hydrogen peroxide.
2. The stain removal system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second containers comprise flexible plastic.
3. The stain removal system of claim 2 , wherein each of the first and second containers has a volume gauge arranged thereon.
4. The stain removal system of claim 3 , wherein the volume gauge comprises a plurality of hashes.
5. A stain removal composition, consisting essentially of:
a first solution consisting essentially of 3-9% of an ammoniated substance and 70-98% of an alcohol; and
a second solution consisting essentially of 6-15% of a peroxide.
6. The stain removal composition of claim 5 , wherein the ammoniated substance is ammonium hydroxide.
7. The stain removal composition of claim 6 , wherein the alcohol is isopropyl alcohol.
8. The stain removal composition of claim 7 , wherein the peroxide is hydrogen peroxide.
9. A method of removing a stain from a surface, the method comprising:
applying to the stain a first solution comprising:
between approximately 3% and approximately 9% ammonium hydroxide; and
between approximately 70% and approximately 98% isopropanol; and
applying to the stain a second solution comprising:
between approximately 6% and approximately 15% hydrogen peroxide.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising allowing the stain to dry before applying the first and second solutions.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein allowing the stain to dry comprises allowing the stain to dry for at least 7 days.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second solutions are applied simultaneously.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second solutions are applied consecutively.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second solutions produce an exothermic reaction.
15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the method does not include any rubbing, scrubbing, or scraping after the first and second solutions are applied.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
applying a second application of the first solution; and
applying a second application of the second solution.
17. The method of claim 9 , wherein the stain is an organic stain.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the stain is blood, urine, feces, or vomit.
19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the stain is coffee, tea, wine, juice, soda pop, a sports drink, or food.
20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the surface is a natural or synthetic carpet surface.
