Product History
The 1958 Origin: From Print Shop to Soap Formula
Amodex was originally formulated in 1958 to remove inks, dyes, and other stubborn stains from hands. However, rigorous lab tests and consistent customer feedback soon revealed a surprise. The exact same formula was highly effective on delicate fabrics as well.
Consequently, by the early 1970s, Amodex Hand Cleaner naturally evolved into Amodex Stain Remover for Hands & Fabrics. Its practical uses expanded rapidly to tackle everyday household messes. Therefore, families began trusting it for tough stains like mustard, ketchup, wine, tomato sauce, salad dressing, blood, grease, and grass.
The Fabric Evolution: Discovering a Multi-Purpose Cleaner
During the early 1990s, Amodex gained global recognition as the world's go-to stain remover for all inks. It worked wonders on permanent markers like Sharpie® and whiteboard markers like Expo®. Because of this widespread success, we officially renamed the product Amodex Ink & Stain Remover.
Today, customers know and love the brand for its unique, non-toxic cream formula. It remains completely safe on fabrics, upholstery, carpets, and even skin. From impossible Georgia red clay and machine oil to baby formula, antique linens, and permanent marker on CDs, Amodex has truly become a trusted solution for stains big and small.
Gaining Industry Recognition & Brand Partnerships
Furthermore, AMODEX works wonders on all types of ink. It cleans ballpoint, felt tip, fountain pen, stamp pad, permanent, and whiteboard markers with ease. For this reason, leading ink manufacturers have lab-tested and officially recommended Amodex to remove their ink. These global brands include AT Cross, Avery Dennison, BIC, Mont Blanc, Parker, Pilot, Sanford, Tombow, and Waterman.
Additionally, Amodex proudly holds a #1 rating for ink stain removal by America's leading consumer magazine. It is featured as the only branded product on Martha Stewart's Stain Removal Chart. Newell Rubbermaid explicitly endorses it for Sharpie and Expo removal, and Crayola lists it as a trusted cleaner for children's art supplies.
