I heard this recommended on a previous thread, to remove a grease stain from the cloth. I’ve got some in, but need some guidance as to exactly how to use it on the grease stain, from someone here that has used it with success? How is it applied, etc.? - thanks

Spray it on a microfiber towel and dab it onto the cloth with a twisting motion. Reapply as necessary.

Take care if spraying it onto the towel and spray it clear of painted surfaces. Brakleen will remove paint.

watched a table guy use it. he sprayed it on the table cloth but i'd say you could probably spray it on the MF rag itself. followed up with a clean damp MF cloth. don't get it on the cushions. he was pretty clear on that. possibility of hardening the rubber. pretty impressive cleaner on tough spots/stains. no effect on the cloth dye.

My dilemma is that the main stain I was trying to remove is on the top of the cushion. I don’t want to take that chance if it might ruin the rubber cushion?

i've searched this and short term/on-off use is not a big deal. this is from various auto websites that all pretty much say same thing. if you're really concerned might try mixing some Dawn in water and try that. as long as its a quik on-then-off application i don't see it hurting a cushion. auto brake guys use it everyday and it doesn't harm seals/gaskets/hoses.
 
I would think if you lightly applied it to the cloth using a microfiber towel, it wouldn't damage the rubber. If you drenched it, that's another story. The stuff evaporates pretty quickly. I'd maybe mask off the rail where you plan to apply it just incase it has an adverse reaction with the Formica.

it does dry fast as hell.

I would ask advice from the felt manufacturers, way better than guessing...
 
If you use any water base cleaner first you can kiss your chances of the brake clean ever working. If you ever have greasy hands from working on a car , never try washing with water first. If you do the hand cleaner will not be able to penetrate through the water applied and into the grease and clean your hands. going to be the same with you rail. . Spray it on a micro and then rub it out. The stuff's not going to hurt the rail in the short time this takes. Make sure it's Non-chlorinated though, don't want to put bleach into the mix. I've used it on dress Khakis and never a problem. My Dad owned a dry cleaning biz and turned me onto this when I was a kid , back in the late 50's.

my wife is a messy great cook and always has grease and other food stains on her clothes.
This stuff is the best of all of them we have tried.

I just got this product in today. What is the best way of applying it to the stain on my cloth on the cushion top? The directions say spray evenly directly to the stained area. Thoroughly work in to penetrate the stain. Wait 5–10 minutes. Wash garment as usual by hand or machine is thoroughly, repeat if necessary.

So after I spray it directly on the cloth stain, what do I use to thoroughly work in to penetrate the stain? And then obviously I can’t wash the garment? Thanks for any advice!

I don't recall anyone saying they had used this on a pool table. Probably on your own here. Spray a little bit on the cloth and rub it out with a clean/damp microfiber.

Just rub it in gently with your finger,wait 5-10 minutes and blot it with a clean damp wash cloth,this aint rocket science here.
