Goo Gone Uses For Cleaning And Stain Removal

Here is a round up of tips and uses for Goo Gone within your home, for both cleaning and stain removal. Find out all the ways you can use this product here, for the really tough to remove messes.

As you can tell, this whole website is about cleaning and stain removal, from all types of surfaces. What I've noted, from the questions I've received, is that the thing that stymies people most are the sticky, waxy, and oily stains because these are the kinds of stains that water can't clean at all, or at least not well.

You may have heard the saying that you "clean like with like," meaning water-based stains with water, and oil-based stains with oil, right? Well Goo Gone is a perfect thing to have in your home for all the oily, sticky types stains where water won't cut it for cleaning. That is because it is oil-based, and has a citrus scent.

Types Of Stains Goo Gone Removes And Cleans

Some of the more popular uses for the product include removing chewing gum, crayons, candle wax, grease, sap, glue, tar, tape, stickers and other adhesives.

In addition, it can be used to clean up and remove stains caused by some products which contain oils and grease, such as lipstick, mascara, and shoe polish.

Surfaces You Can And Cannot Use It On

What is remarkable about it, is that it is safe for many surfaces. For example, it can be used safely on carpets, upholstery, clothing, wood (including hardwood floors), brick, concrete, metal, fiberglass, plastic, glass, and tile.

It is not safe for leather, silk, suede or rubber, however.

Further, I should caution that if possible, you should always try something else first on fabric surfaces, such as upholstery and carpet that cannot be washed, because of the oil based nature of this product. If you need to spray clothing with it, it isn't that bad, because after you remove the stain or other residue you can wash the garment with hot water and lots of soap to remove the residue from the Goo Gone itself.

Unfortunately, with carpet and upholstery, all you can do is dab at it with a dishwashing liquid solution to remove excess product, and although this will work it takes more effort, and is not guaranteed to remove all the oily residue. However, sometimes Goo Gone is all that works to remove the stain, so you have to do it anyway.
