Homax also has an awesome line of environmentally friendly, non-toxic cleaning products. They have some of the most amazing stain removers I have ever used too. They clean stains out of nearly any type of material, without damaging the item you are actually cleaning! If you purchase from them online, you can also get free shipping. Check them out at:
