Does this actually clean--remove stains and fabric transfer--or just condition/freshen? Will it guard against FUTURE stains and moisture (protect)?

I'm sorry, I've only used it once so far. Yesterday it rained a little and the few drops I got on the jacket seemed to bead and roll off, no stains yet. I will know as I use the jacket more in the future!

I've used it for stains on clothes. Spray...let sit for a couple of minutes. I use a brush to brush the tough stain and it goes away. I have also used for laundry as well. Clothes smell fresh!

You don't really need it but it makes clean/wash super easy. You don't need to soak the cloth diapers and I also don't have poop stains on the prefolds. I don't use bleach on the prefolds either and I strongly believe that it's because of the prefolds :)

That seems to be the case in my experience on a butcher block table that's only been treated with this product. I wipe it down with a damp cloth frequently and it leaves no marks or stains. I think the more you treat the surface regularly, the more protective it seems to be in my case.

No - it does clean and condition very well. It softens areas that are "wrinkled" but does not repair.

I just wash before and after... Seems to be just fine. And it works too :)Good stuff!

I used it on colored leather sofa(cream) and it worked great. It isn't as strong of a cleaner as I would have liked, but it did not affect the color. If you use it on a nice leather handbag you may want to condition after. My wife had a "coach", leather cleaner + conditioner was reccomended

No, but I only use it when I have bathed, shaved my legs, and plan to go out in an hour or two. I do not go to bed with it damp. When it dries, I see no stain. It does have tendency to wash over with heavy duty scrubbing the next day...but who cares? It's like brushing your teeth, it's a do-over. Love it.

Not sure, but it will not hurt to try. I've found this cleaner to be very safe on colors and all fabric types. If this doesn't work, you might try WD40.

Yes, it absolutely does protect against water, as well as many other liquids that may inadvertently land on your leather. I soaked (and believe me, it did not take much of this product to do so) my KaBar sheath, and it was dry, softer, and seemingly less porous in about an hour-ish. The neatsfoot and lanolin smells disappeared after several more hours of air-drying. The final result was no darkening (my sheath was natural and not dyed, and thus did not adversely react to this Lexol dressing), and a highly water-resistant item. I've included the ingredients in this answer, which show neatsfoot oil and lanolin (which provide the water resistant effect), along with water and propylene glycol to aid in better and deeper penetration of the oils into the leather. I don't know what the listed "preservative" is, but my educated guess is that it helps keep the liquid product in a usable form until use and contact with the air (again, only my opinion...). Ingredients: Neatsfoot Oil, Peg 75 Lanolin, Propylene Glycol, Water, Preservative. I hope this information, and simple opinion, helps you in your decision to use or buy this product! And please don't freak out when you see the wee size of the bottle (I got the 8oz), because it doesn't take much of this stuff to do the job.

I have not had to clean mine. Since it's a polyester fabric, it should clean very easily with usual cleaning products

you need a cloth with you to wipe after but i have not found it to leave stains.

I haven't gotten any stains on it yet. :) I sprayed the canvas part of the bag with scotch-gard fabric & upholstery protector.. And the other day when I spilled juice on it, it rolled right off and didn't stain! I would recommend doing that if you're worried about stains. It's an awesome bag!! We love it.

I love this product. It is excellent in removing ordoers from fabrics, and generrally does not stain. Great in the car. Something like silk drapes, I would be concerned. The product can be air sprayed to eliminate ordors, but do not do so with kids or pets in the room- Best to spray generously, then leave for a few minutes. The product works best if area is cleaned first, then left damp after spraying for at least 10 minutes. True odor removing effect seen after totally dry.

I would spot clean with a mild cleaner. The fabric is similar to canvas, so I imagine you could take it outside and hose it down if the mess is bad enough, as long as you let it dry completely.

Before using it I sprayed it thoroughly with Scotch guard fabric protector, available at Amazon. Have been using it in my kitchen for 3 months and as of yet no stains at all. If it gets anything on it I just wipe it off . Scotch guard works great. I applied it to the chair outdoors of course and let it dry for about an hour.

It is a water based product. If used on 'S' code fabrics (which are usually dry clean only fabrics) there would be a chance of leaving a water mark.
