  • Ink & dye: InkGo for pen, marker, and dye stains.
  • Rust & metals: RustGo and Fluoride-Free RustGo for rust and metallic marks.
  • Grease, oil & general: TarGo and general spotters for oily and combination soils.

Detergents, solvents & finishing

  • Cleaning & detergents: RESCUETEX and Pyratex chemistry for the cleaning cycle.
  • Finishing & sizing: Steam Dragon sizing, SofSpot, and FreshTex to press and finish cleanly.
  • Anti-static & specialty: Staticol and emulsifiers for static control and problem soils.

Spotting basics: wet side vs. dry side

Professional spotting splits stains into two families. Water-based ("wet-side") stains — tannin and protein — respond to formulas like StreeTan and StreePro. Oil-based ("dry-side") stains respond to solvent-based spotters. Identify the stain first, work from the mildest agent up, and always test on a hidden area to protect the garment and cut re-cleans.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy dry cleaning chemicals and stain removers online?
Norton Supply ships a full line of dry cleaning spotting agents, detergents, and finishing chemicals — including tannin, protein, ink, and rust removers — in bottles and bulk gallons.

What removes tannin vs. protein stains?
Use a tannin formula (StreeTan) for coffee, tea, wine, and juice; use a protein formula (StreePro) for blood, egg, dairy, and food. Treat wet-side stains before pressing so heat doesn't set them.

Do you sell dry cleaning chemicals in bulk?
Yes — most spotters come in both bottle and 1-gallon sizes, and Mix-N-Match savings let you combine products to reach volume pricing.
