Sonitron GROG (Get Rid Of Grease) is a multipurpose solvent spotter. Sonitron describes it as a very popular spotter that removes a wide range of stains in addition to grease and oil.
GROG is designed for use with an extraction machine and must be extracted after use.

Sonitron lists:

- Some paints
- Ink
- Lacquers and nail polish
- Lipstick and crayon
- Gum and wax
- Shoe and furniture polishes
GROG or S110?
Sonitron makes two solvent spotters. GROG covers the wider range of stains and must be extracted. Sonitron S110 covers part of the same range, evaporates completely and is applied by absorption into a cloth, so it is the one to use when no extraction machine is available.
Directions for Use
Sonitron does not publish a step-by-step method for GROG on its product page. Follow the directions on the container label. Pre-test in an inconspicuous area, apply sparingly to the stain, and extract thoroughly. Do not use it on a carpet you cannot extract.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to extract it?
Yes. Sonitron states GROG is designed for use with an extraction machine and must be extracted. If you have no machine on the job, use S110 instead.
Is it safe on every carpet?
Sonitron does not publish a fibre or backing suitability list. Strong solvents can affect some backings, adhesives and dyes, so pre-test and use the minimum needed.
Why does it carry a shipping surcharge?
GROG is a Class 3 flammable liquid for transport, so a dangerous goods surcharge applies.
