Specifications for Power Gel - Citrus Solvent Stain Remover Gel
I'll get you out of a sticky situation.
Power Gel is a high-performance, multi-purpose carpet spotter gel that uses powerful orange extracts to remove paint, oil, grease, gum, wax, adhesive, glue, ink and tar. The thickened gel prevents product loss by absorption into the fibres and carpet backing, meaning you use less product for a better result without doing damage to the backing, underlay and glue. That’s why this gel will save you time and money. Power Gel is safe to use, easy to rinse and works fast.
Where to use
Power Gel is an ideal carpet and upholstery spotter for use on almost all washable/wettable fabric and fibre types.
Where not to use
Do not use on plastic, acrylic, floor sealers, polymer coatings or other solvent-sensitive surfaces.

Carpet and upholstery spotting (bottle use)
1. Test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the suitability of the product on the surface.
2. Remove (sponge or scrape) any debris or excess stain deposits. The longer stains are left, the harder they are to remove.
3. Apply Power Gel via a cloth or by squirt bottle. Do not over-wet. Gently blot the stain. Never rub. Agitate gently. Stubborn stains may require further light agitation.
4. For heavy stains and spots, leave for 2-5 minutes of dwell time.
5. Blot spot from the outside in. Use a disposable wipe, clean white towel or extract with a machine.
6. Rinse and extract with a portable carpet cleaning machine using a pre-spray detergent. Plush (carpet and upholstery rinse, softener & cleaner) should always be added to the solution tank water. If a machine is unavailable you can blot away with a damp clean white towel and then neutralise with Houdini stain remover or Aussie Encappa. Blot away again with another damp white towel to remove all chemical and stain residue.
7. Allow to dry.
8. Repeat or adjust the process if necessary.
*Always use the appropriate XO2 labelled product bottle.
Handy tips
• Attend to spots and spills as soon as possible. Fresh spots are significantly easier to remove. Stains that are left too long can become permanent. Using the wrong product can also set the stain or permanently damage the fibre.
• Do your stain removal working from the outside of larger stains to the inside. This prevents the stain from spreading.
• Always test first in an inconspicuous area before using any cleaning solution. Play it safe, especially when you use a product for the first time. Better to be safe than sorry. Some surfaces can be sensitive to moisture and particular chemical types.
Will Power Gel remove every stain?
No. There is not one product that removes all carpet stains. This product is part of a complete professional stain removal system. It is important to familiarise yourself with the different products and how each of them works for the best result.
My stain won't come out. What should I do?
Oh Ohhh! Here are 2 options...
1. The stain is permanent damage and repair or replacement is required. Not all stains can be removed.
2. Progress to the next level of stain removal. See the 'how to remove carpet stains’ charts. In them, you’ll learn how specialty stain removers such as Houdini, Dry Safe, Wizz King and Browning Treatment work together for the best result.
