Stain Remover 350ml

Most conventional stain removers use optical brighteners or bleaches to lighten stains, which are harmful to aquatic life and can also damage your clothing. They also often include fragrances - something entirely unnecessary for a garment which is going straight in the wash. We only use fragrances when absolutely necessary (like in some of our urinal products) – fragrances make the formulation less biodegradable in the waterways and can cause respiratory and skin irritations.

Yes, our Stain Remover can effectively remove stains at any temperature.

Make-up stains can be resilient due to their adhesive and oily nature. They contain oils, waxes, and metallic organic pigments that can dye fabric permanently. Act fast by pre-treating with our Stain Remover, followed by rinsing it with cold water rinse and repeat, if necessary, before applying our Stain Remover and launder with our Non-Bio Laundry Powder in a warm water wash.

Body sweat is mainly water, salt, and oil. Armpit sweat, more complex post-puberty, contains proteins, and lipids. All those biological materials then mingle with any underarm products you’re applying. Therefore, biological substances, bacteria
growth, and deodorants all can play a role in the development of yellow or grey patches, mixing with deodorants and antiperspirants, leading to yellow or grey patches. These stains can be invisible initially but may emit odour over time, even after washing.  

As soon as the sweat odour starts to smell after washes, act fast. To kill the bacteria growth first put your garments in a bag in the freezer overnight, then apply our Stain Remover on the patch and use our Non-Bio Laundry Powder in the wash for thorough cleaning.

Blood stains are stubborn, mainly because they are iron-based stains, which react to the oxygen in the air, forming strong bonds to inner fabric layers. At high temperatures, the clogging process is accelerated, so when it comes to blood stains, cold water is your best friend.

Ideally, act fast and soak immediately in cold water and rub with our Stain Remover, rinse with cold water, apply again and put it in the wash with Non-Bio Laundry
Powder.

Water and ethanol make up about 98% of wine, while the remaining 2% includes tannins, pigments called anthocyanins, and chromophores which is what are the main staining culprits. The tannins and anthocyanins are also some of the main players in
making red wine an oxidising stain, so it will bind to fabrics if not treated quickly.

But the acid in the wine plays a role in staining, too, especially if the garment is made of natural fibres or certain synthetic fibres, like nylon. For example, when cotton is dyed, it’s acid-washed before colour is applied. This acid wash opens the pores of the cotton to make it absorb the pigments better. So, when the acid in the wine contacts our cotton-based clothes, it functions the same. It opens the pores of the cotton. So when the pigments from the grape skin come down to the fibre…it’s like dyeing your clothes. But, never fear, if you act fast you can remove the stain before it sets.

Apply Stain Remover on the stain as soon as possible, let it sit for 3 minutes, then rub and rinse the area using cold water or put it on a cold wash with our Non-Bio Laundry
Powder.

Our Stain Remover can be used on linen, raynon, denim, cotton, polyester, spandex, lace, nylon, wool, fleece, cashmere, bamboo fibres. Always patch test on a small area first, take care with delicate fabrics like silks. Do not use on leather chiffon and velvet.
