Name of white powdery cleaner for fabric?

Mar 16, 2007 5 Replies

My mother is in a nursing home, and her roommate showed me something that looks like a small grease stain on one of her skirts. She doesn't know what it is but wants to remove it. I recommended taking it to the dry cleaners, but she says she remembers something from years ago that was some sort of spray on white, powdery substance that a person would apply, let set for awhile, then brush it (and the stain) off with a brush. She would like to find that product. Does anyone know the name of this product and where I should look to find some for her?



Thanks, MaryL


Hi Mary, It's probably a Fuller Brush Company product. I recall my mother having something similar that she'd buy from the salesman when he came around:

Thanks very much. I'll show that to Doris and order some for her if it's what she wants.

From the description, it sounds like K2R. It went on as a semi-liquid which dried quickly into a powder

Thanks. I googled for it, and that does sound like a possibility. I'll take the information on K2R and also on the Fuller Brush spray that Nan mentioned when I go to the nursing home tomorrow. If either of them sounds like what Doris wants, I'll order one for her.

This also reminds me of a product I had years ago except that it was not liquid. The owner of a furniture store recommended it to me to remove small soiled spots from upholstered furniture. It was a solid bar, a white chalky texture that I rubbed on, let set for a few minutes, then brushed off. She had me buy it at a drug store! It worked great, but I can't remember that name of that product, either.
