Wanders Products
Wanders Products "by Wanders for Wanders" my slogan back in 2003 when I first started selling to cleaners. I know the trade. In the old it was called Value.

Mark S. asks, "Hi Joe, I’ve got an off white wool area rug with some severe pet urine stains. What would you suggest for me to use to get them out?"
My advise:
Red Flag - somebody's been working on it.
Confront them on this. Say, "it's faded."
Then tell them you'll do the best you can but ... there will be "more" color loss.
Then proceed to mist heavy with IOR Part 1 (3oz/gal) then part 2 (mixed weak).
This is safe chemistry for wool mixed and applied this way.
Flush/Extract with your wand right away.
Clean the entire area.
Inspect in 10-12 minutes from 6-10 feet away.
If you still see brown then repeat part 2 without part 1 and extract right away and inspect.
That should do it.
If it's faded, do a spot dye or recommend a spot dye expert.
Collect your money and say thank you.
Hope this helps,
Joe

A bit about the Injection Sprayer I make ...
Why isn't Joe’s sprayer like the Hydroforce Sprayer? I'll explain.
Question - who has repaired the most Hydroforce Sprayers?
Ans. It's me.
I've been repairing injectors at least 10 years, probably more than 15 maybe 20. lost count. For all of these Hydroforce repairs, it's always the same problem - the Draw Tube is coming loose from the base of the injector block. There's other stuff too, like a bad nozzle bushing or wear, but it's almost always the Draw Tube failure and its connection to the Hydroforce style Injector Block. I've known of the problem since ~1995. I was a cleaner (1986-2004) and I experienced it over and over. So, I made my own injector and it worked better and lasted longer than anything else out there. Some suppliers told me it was too advanced for its time. Typical of suppliers then and now, they didn't want an injector that would hold up for a long time - so they discouraged me. This was 2003. It didn’t catch on. I got the reaction "so why isn’t it like the Hydroforce?" Answer, simple, the Hydroforce has problems and I fixed them. Well, I went back to making the Hydroforce injector for 10 years or so then recently decided to go back to my design.
Now, some twenty years later, it's time to try it again.
Mine is called the Wanders Injection Sprayer.
I’ve offered to do a direct comparison with any other injector out there. No one has taken me up on it. They know the others pale in comparison. Only problem with mine is it puts function over form. It's designed to draw. What's different? Mainly, it's the Draw Tube.
It's been designed to be more reliable.
To adapt to my new injector, follow these two tips:
1) use a zip-tie to secure the front and maybe the back of your injector handle assembly to the handle of the jug. This keeps the handle assembly from moving around. Go ahead and remove the Velcro strap. You won’t need it. Just use the zip ties and my thick rubber grips. But what about the cap? I need access to the hole for filling and emptying don't I? No you don't. This is just another throwback to early days of injectors with a single opening. We continue to use the the Hydroforce jug with its big hole on the side,
2) permanently close off the front cap and never go there. We do all our filling and dumping from the big side port. Simple. Easy. Used in this way, the Draw Tube will last as long as the chemicals will allow. Typically, it should be replaced once a year but you could probably go longer. Cool thing is you don’t need me to do the repairs like you do with the Hydroforce. You can easily change the Draw Tube and spring & ball with just a ½” wrench and your fingers. No o-ring worries.
Bottomline, you have an all-stainless injector, with a lifetime warranty. You can forget about Draw Tube problems because it can't work itself loose like it does with the Hydroforce. Repairs are simpler. Just replace the Draw Tube and keep an eye on your supply hose and gun. That's it.
The Wanders Injection Sprayer time has come. I have sold a thousand plus in the last year or so and just starting into the next thousand. Help spread the word. No, it doesn't look exactly like the Hydroforce but it works better and if you're honest and open and willing to try new things you’ll like it like all the guys using it. Read the reviews.
Remember, Hydroforce was a company. Their Hydroforce Sprayer was their first product and it became the most popular sprayer in our trade for over 35 years.
Now the Wanders Sprayer is here. I'm selling them pretty much every day with very few complaints. Enjoy.
