Twin Pines of Maine Products

Has anyone tried out any of the Twin Pines of Maine products other than Remove-Zit?

They seem to really know what they're talking about and I bet a lot of these products would be good for ponies.  I'd like to get their book eventually.  They give a clear warning about using Remove-Zit on dyed vinyl (which is what ponies are).  I don't think this necessarily means that none of their products would be safe for dyed vinyl.

"Most vinyl plastics are normally colored by adding metal oxide pigments to the plastic mass before it is molded. When vinyl compounds colored in this way are treated with REMOVE-ZIT to remove a stain the pigment is not affected by the treatment and the stain is removed.

Another way to color some vinyl compounds is simply to add a dye to the plastic mass before it is molded. When vinyl compounds colored in this way are treated with REMOVE-ZIT the stain is removed but in many cases so is the dye used to color the vinyl. Strictly speaking, a dye is a stain and REMOVE-ZIT is an efficient stain remover."

Much better for AG dolls rather than ponies, I'm afraid.  Their products are fairly destructive to ponies, for the reasons listed above!

This thread might get more responses on the custom forum. Sad that there isn't something like Remove-Zit for dyed vinyl. I would like to hear if their other products work better for ponies than normal shampoos or fabric cleaners.

I have formula 911 and it is very useful, I use it for getting rid of all sorts of sticky stuff

Yeah, haven't tried 911. it sounded like a decent degreaser. last time I looked it up I couldn't find a MSDS for it.

I tend to gravitate to ponies on the nicer end of the spectrum. Some tidy enough that a damp microfiber wipe is all they need.

I have had great success with original plain blue dawn liquid for really filthy stuff. and it's what I use to wash pony combs/brushes.
