Folex is my new fave secret weapon

I did find it and have used it on a silk jacket, there was a greenish spot on one sleeve and it removed it like magic.

I also tried to remove a brownish stain on a royal blue dress with white embroidery, that did not work very well.

It really depends on the fabric but it sure was nice to see that first stain disappear!

I have purchased a bottle of a special cleanser for vintage doll clothes and one a cleanser for vintage vinyl dolls online not too long ago - that company ships their products to Europe from the US, no problem. They're non-toxic, non-flammable, and I had no trouble, and neither seemed they to have - so if Folex is also non-harmful, it shouldn't be a problem to ship it from the US.

Just one thought about filling some of this product into a smaller bottle - if customs open the package, they won't know what's in it - I don't know how they would react to that then. If it's in an original bottle, they know what's inside...

I wonder if it would sufficient to include a product sheet and the Material Safety Data Sheet, along with description on the customs form. Even with a labeled bottle they'd have to inspect it to know for sure it contains what it says it does, since it would be easy to replace the original contents.

On a different note, I was thinking of using this on a swimsuit. I first applied plain water to the spot, and was surprised to see it left a water mark. I'm sure it will disappear once the whole garment is washed, but I sure wasn't expecting this on a garment meant to be used wet!
 
Sorry - Midge made my point better - if you repackage you will have headaches. All kinds of labeling issues, etc. Just know this from my previous job. You will have to prove what is in that bottle and it could be hard to do to their satisifaction. Who knows though -sometimes stuff just sails through customs that shouldn't and they cause problems for stuff that should be a no-brainer. Who knows right?

Also, when a company ships products like this to you, they have done a lot of the work already to ensure their items go through customs quickly. It COULD be different shipping person to person (don't know for sure though).

I just know that I hated custom so much. Sitting through all those classes about proper customs terms made me soooo tired. Cannot describe how boring...
