Our Story: In 1957, our grandfather Peter created a solution to remove stubborn ink from his hands at the end of long days in the printing industry. He soon realized that his formula removed all types of ink and stains from clothing, too. Peter and his wife Sylvia named their creation Amodex, and formed what is now a multi-generational family business. In 2005, our Mom, Beverlee, took the helm to lead the company with two sets of twin children in tow. We're very proud of Amodex and the legacy of our grandparent's hard work to create such an innovative and versatile product. Thank you for trying us out - once you discover the many uses for Amodex, we know you'll be passionate about it, too. -Peter, Alexander, Marica and Nicolas Dacey. www.amodexink.com. Women owned.

      Directions

      To remove ink spots:

      Place paper towel under ink spot.

      Apply Amodex® and gently rub with brush.

      Continue rubbing ink on to clean areas of paper towel until no more ink transfers to paper towel.

      Launder or rinse area thoroughly.

      Read product insert for more information before applying Amodex® to stains. Apply Amodex® directly to the stain. For best results do not wet stain or surface prior to use and do not pre-treat stain with other products.

      General use:

      Always shake well before use.

      Never wet a stain or apply anything prior to using Amodex®.

      Water may set a stain and make the stain harder or even impossible to remove.

      It is always best to use Amodex® first. Applying another cleaning agent before using Amodex® may reduce its effectiveness. Don't give up hope - Amodex® is still your best bet!

      To apply Amodex®, shake well and pour directly on stain. Rub in with a fingernail or old toothbrush.

      On denser fabric (such as cotton), rub well with harder bristle brush.

      On large stains (such as carpeting), use larger brush or scrub brush.

      Check first for colorfastness:

      Because of the different dyes used on fabrics, especially leather, we advise testing for colorfastness.

      Apply a small amount of Amodex® on a hidden area (inside a garment or along a seam) and rinse. The fabric is colorfast if no color change occurs.

      Mystery stain?

      Encounter a stain and don't know what it is? Amodex® is your safe and best bet.

      Stubborn stains:

      If you apply Amodex® to stubborn stains on garments or linens every time you launder them, eventually the stain may lighten or disappear.

      Reapply additional applications while fabric is still wet.

      Leave overnight before rinsing.

      Berry stains:

      Amodex® oftens turns berry stains blue, continue working the stain until it disappears.

      No hairspray or alcohol:

      Using alcohol or hair spray on an ink stain will only further set the stain.

      Lacquer and chemicals:

      Inks containing chemicals such as lacquer can be a challenge to remove. The lacquer creates a seal that is extremely difficult to penetrate.

      Fine furniture:

      Lightly coat the stain with Amodex® and rub gently with clean rag. Wipe clean with damp cloth.

      Take your time:

      Don't panic. Amodex® will remove stains that have been there for weeks provided nothing has been applied.

      Yellowing after cleaning:

      Should stained area turn yellow after treating with Amodex®, do not worry. The yellow is dried Amodex® residue. Simply rinse the area again thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry.

      Amodex® removes Sharpie® and other permanent marker from:

      Auto: interior, exterior paint, and car upholstery.

      Fabrics: including fine linens, quilts, cashmere, and silk.

      Surfaces: fine furniture, wood flooring, tile, etc.

      Upholstery: leather, microfiber, vinyl, and more.

      Helpful hints:

      Spot cleaning surface, carpet, upholstery and drapery stains:

      1. Apply a few drops of Amodex® to stained area.

      2. Rub with a brush or fingernail until stain disappears. Be careful not to rub too hard on wallpaper or other delicate surfaces.

      3. Rinse or blot off the Amodex® with a damp cloth. When working with carpets or upholstery, rinse thoroughly.

      Note: when cleaning silk, after rinsing, we recommend drying with a hairdryer to avoid water stains.

      Pretreating stains before laundering:

      1. Apply Amodex® to stains. For example, use it to pre-treat the rings on shirt collars and cuffs or to remove mystery stains.

      2. Gently rub with your brush or fingernail.

      3. Launder with your other washables using your regular detergent. Amodex® is safe even for spot treating and leaving on the fabric until you are ready to launder.

      Before dry cleaning or to spot clean garments:

      1. Follow the directions above, and thoroughly rinse the area to remove any traces of Amodex® residue.

      Removing heavy ink stains:

      1. Place paper towel under stain.

      2. Apply Amodex® to stain.

      3. Gently rub with brush or fingernail.

      4. As stain appears on paper towel, rotate the towel to a clean area of the towel and continue rubbing.

      5. Continue working the stained area until no more ink appears on the paper towel.

      6. Launder in a regular laundry load or rinse area thoroughly under faucet using warm water. Continue rubbing area while rinsing.

      7. Repeat steps 1-6 as necessary.

      *Very heavy ink spots, especially those in pockets and along seams, take patience to remove. Although we don't guarantee that Amodex® will always remove heavy ink spots, we know and assure you that it is your most effective choice.
