Want DiDi 7 stain remover
Quickstart:
This thread may confuse the uninitiated because didi 7 is an old-line product which was temporarily discontinued. During that period, old stock which vendors had accumulated was being sold as a hard to find boutique product, and posters here were looking for it. It is now widely available again: didi 7 ⇦ this on
eBay or
Amazon [affil links]
Q. Looking for Didi 7 or HP 9000 non-chlorine bleach products. They work great but have seemingly disappeared from shelves in the US. Oxiclean and similar products just don't do the job.

A. Hi, Martin. We saw Didi Seven on Amazon for for a while, and
HP 9000 for a while on eBay, but we're not seeing them anywhere anymore ⇩ :-(

Q. I USED A STAIN REMOVER ON A CLOTHING ITEM OF MINE. AND IT BLEACHED OUT THE COLOR! IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN RESTORE IT TO ITS PREVIOUS STATE?

A. Hi, Jos. Unfortunately, once you've bleached something, you've bleached it.
Although it may be possible to "re-dye" the item, sorry there's no way to "unbleach" it.

RE: DiDI 7 - Bellevue, Washington USA May 24, 2011 In regards to the Didi 7 bleaching comment. I've worked in the cleaning and maintenance industry for 27 years and have seen the damage done by Didi7. It is a great product if used properly and in the correct application. Didi7 will bleach clothing and carpets. I used to see bleached carpets at residences during the 80's & 90's when didi7 was really selling a lot of product. Two of the main types of stain removers work by either "adding" oxygen to a stain or reducing oxygen "reducers". The type that adds oxygen is the safest. The type that removes or reduces oxygen is acidic and can easily bleach out fabric and carpet. Most carpet cleaning companies use both products but they are for skilled trained professionals only. Personally I would suggest using [deleted by editor], it has the highest percentage of actual ingredients and no useless fillers. All natural too. Thanks - Seattle, Washington, USA July 13, 2011

Ed. note -- Readers: please don't trust "testimonials" from strangers on the internet!! We learned from the IP address and other evidence that the above posting was actually submitted with a fictitious name by the owner of a company which competes against Didi Seven; we don't have enough info to know whether the other complaint just above it was also fictitious, but it sounds similar enough in tone to believe so :-)
I am an avid fan of Didi7 if properly used and according to instructions (test it on an inconspicuous place first). I had it for approx. 7 yrs, used sparingly, but now I ran out and cannot seem to find it anywhere. Will check with my german relatives -- I sure do miss it, especially on my latest blueberry stain on my favorite white pants. I have tried them all, still like didi7 ⇦ this on
eBay or
Amazon [affil links]
best for its results. job
