Review on Carbona 431 Color Run Remover by Omar Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yay, it works! Stain remover compatible

I buy a lot of vintage doll clothes and hand wash them. Sometimes I have an accident if I don't test before washing. I had four small garments with flowing colors. A red sun suit and matching blue polka dot hat, a white top with a small red ribbon that didn't last long, and a white hat. The red ribbon left pink stains on the white top and hat. All clothes are made of cotton. After cutting off the colorless red ribbon, I placed all 4 pieces in the carbona solution (I used 3 gallons of very hot tap water in a bucket). Literally in 2-3 minutes the white top and hat were spotless. These stains were fresh and the clothing was still damp when dipped in carbon, which may have helped. After 15 minutes the reds are still getting wet but 95% of the bruises are gone. As the box says you can't use Carbona on a leaked garment so I can't salvage a blue item that has leaked but at least other items can be salvaged. I'm glad I bought this product and will definitely use it again.
