Lestoil Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaner, Amber, 48 Fl Oz, Pack of 1

Amazing product. See before and after pictures. This product destroys stains and grease. I’ve used it on several articles of stained clothing and got the same, successful result. There is a strong scent to it, so just make sure to use in a well ventilated area. Highly recommend!

This works so great for clothing. It does stink horribly but old and new oil stains don’t stand a chance against it. After it has washed and dried it normally doesn’t smell anymore but I have had to wash a second time but it’s worth it for the clothes to not be stained. Extremely easy to use. I have only used it for laundry though. I put it in a spray bottle, spray the stain, rub it with an old soft toothbrush, and let it sit over night. The next day I throw it in the washer. After washing I check to see if the stain is gone. 99% of the time it is. I either redo the stain or dry. It is a very quick process.

So here I am, with my just opened bottle of Malbec, two days after Thanksgiving and one day after Black Friday, apparently with nothing better to do than to give you the good, the bad, and the ugly of this Lestoil stuff. Odds are, you are reading the comments because you want to know how effective this stuff is and wondering will it remove whatever mess you've gotten yourself into. Well, let me tell you.... 1. This stuff definitely WORKS. I have attached some photos for you so you can be reassured that I am not telling tall tales. My husband is an industrial pump machinist/mechanic/technician and he sees the worst of the worst. Human waste, the sludge at cheese processing plants, waste water, potato processing plants...you name it. He removes the pumps, rebuilds them, reinstalls them and he and his clothes come home FILTHY. It was after one very long, profanity-filled text message that I sent to him lamenting how I have spent an ungodly amount of wasted hours of my life trying to get these gross stains out of his clothing, and basically ranting that his employer does not provide uniforms for his job (leaving me the task of performing miracles each week to get him ready and presentable for work.) I had tried everything--EVERRRRRYTHIIIIING--to get stains out of his clothing. Vinegar, dish soap, Zote soap bars, Pine Sol, washing soda, Borax, Spray 'n Wash, Shout, Biz, hydrogen peroxide, Oxi-Clean...I mean it when I say I ran the gamut of options available for getting oily stains out of clothing. Someone mentioned this Lestoil product in a comment section of a laundry cleaning video on YouTube, and when I read it I was intrigued. Yes....yes, you read that right. Things were getting so bad with my hatred for my husband's dirty laundry that I was resorting to watching laundry cleaning videos at 2 a.m. in bed. I REALLY needed a solution, and we were running out of bottles of wine. The first time I used it, I simply poured the liquid right out of the bottle all over the stains. I probably wasted at least one quarter of the bottle doing it this way. Plus, I had it all over my hands and everywhere else and it REEKED of chemicals. So the next time, I got smart and poured this stuff into the tiniest spray bottle I could find (I think it is an old purse/travel spray bottle from Bath & Body Works.) On the next round of laundry I used the little spray bottle to simply target the sections that had major stains, and probably saved 90% of the product doing it this way. 2. ODOR ALERT. I must warn you. For those out there with super sensitive noses like mine, this stuff smells HORRIBLE (to me, anyway.) I have Lyme Disease and one of the symptoms of this wretched illness is an incredibly increased sense of smell, so many, many scents are intolerable to me. Let me tell you folks, I have to spray this stuff outside. The first time I used it, I tried laying all the clothing in the bathtub and letting the solution soak for an hour or so, but the smell.......my good Lord. It was what I imagine walking into a gas chamber would be like, every time I opened the door. The chemical smell was so incredibly strong that it made by lungs and my eyes burn. We have four pets and I was very concerned for their welfare (cats' sense of smell is 14x stronger than humans, and dogs are up there, too) and I did not want their tiny noses suffering from smelling this stuff. Trust me. Use your exhaust fan, open the windows, let your clothing soak outside. It smells THAT badly. It's like....respiratory cancer smell in a bottle. In fact, I get pissed off every time I have to use this stuff simply because I hate the smell so darn much. So that's that. It really works, and, it reeks like industrial cleaner. For those who are wondering, I have the "fresh" scent, I think (the bottle does not indicate.) I tried seeking out the "unscented" version, which is apparently a thing, but it is nowhere to found other than on the black market for the cost of blood diamonds. I must also mention, it does a great job of removing oily stains from cooking, like olive oil, butter, bacon grease, etc. My boobs are size 32DDD (God given, and I'm stuck with 'em) and like the Siberian Shelf in the Arctic those things catch every single morsel of food, tasty sauce, or drink that drop from my lips. All of my shirts and sweatshirts have a stupid line of oil stains right across my chest (I am messy), but after a little spritz of this Lestoil stuff the stains be no more. It is truly amazing! I just wish it smelled better. Imagine if it smelled like warm vanilla, or chocolate chip cookies, or freesia flowers...or the delights of lemons, apples & mint, cucumber melon, or even freshly brewed coffee. Heck, I would take the smell of a hickory burning fireplace or even that gas station smell that I weirdly loved as a kid over the way this cleaner smells right now. So, that's the story folks. It really works and it really stinks. I guess that one sentence could have been my entire review.

This is magic. I use it all the time on tough stains to spot treat and as a booster to heavily soiled loads like rugs. Between this and Folex….stains don’t stand a chance.

I bought this after seeing someone use it in a YouTube video to remove old oil stains from clothing that had already gone through the dryer, which usually means the stains are there for good. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but it actually worked. It did take two treatments on the worst spots, but the stains faded dramatically and some disappeared completely. I was especially impressed that it worked on stains that had already been heat set. Definitely worth trying before giving up on favorite clothes.

Takes out the toughest of stains and easy to use. Soft on baby clothes, but the smell is VERY concentrated. Only use a tiny bit per stain so it is definitely worth the money.

This is the only product I have found that gets greasy and very dirty work pants clean. Apply full strength to stains. Let it sit for awhile and they soak overnight in a bucket of very warm water with more Lestoil.

I was spraying Dawn Powerwash foam on my clothes to remove grease. It works pretty well if you leave it long enough, but it's expensive, and I go through a bottle in no time. Before that, I used Dawn dish soap, putting little dots on the grease spots. Too time-consuming, and I always missed some of the spots. After Googling "are there any products that will take grease stains out of clothes?" this one came up. The price was reasonable. It's a big bottle. I read that you have to be careful using it in a front loader. Never put it in the dispenser, and be careful how much you use if you put it in the drum. (no more than 1/4 cup). It's best to spot the clothes, it said. So, I put some in a spray bottle and sprayed it on several shirts with grease spots all over the front, rolled them up and let them sit for a while before washing. One of the shirts was an old sweatshirt of my husband's, which he wears while cooking, that had old, set in grease spots all over it that hadn't come out after being washed. Every spot was gone after using this stuff! I'm happy to report that I finally found something that's affordable and actually works great! Grease spots,...GONE!! Does it smell? Yes. I always hold my breath when spraying any chemical and walk away as soon as I'm done, then wait until the air settles. I don't care if it smells, IT WORKS! After drying, the clothes do not smell. You can always run an extra rinse, depending on how well your machine rinses clothes. Highly recommended!

I got cooking oil on one of my favourite sweatshirts and after reading all the amazing reviews, gave this a try before throwing my sweatshirt out. So glad I did! Got almost all the splats out, can barely tell.

Brill product - have used it for years.... usually purchased in the USA but cannot find it there anymore! If you want to remove heavy grease from overalls etc... this is just the ticket. We discovered it when living overseas and needing to remove tar - found on the beach - from feet etc.... great stuff!

Je n'en trouvais plus en nul part donc bien contente d'en avoir trouvée ici

Pour usage de ménage
