How to use

Follow garment care label instructions and always patch test fabric for colourfastness. Do not use on garments with a 'do not bleach' care label.

If the stain is tough, use the end of the nozzle to agitate the stain slightly.

Allow the stain remover between 5 minutes and half-an-hour to work before machine washing or blotting to remove the stain remover residue.

If you're out and about use the carry on bottle to target fresh stains, allow 30 minutes to work (but not longer).

Always blot or wash solution off after 30 minutes.

About Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater

Our Spot Stain Treater is your all-in-one weapon against common household food stains.

Some stains; like berries, tea, watermelon and tomato juice will fade instantly, within 30 minutes application. For other stains, pre-treating them before putting them in the wash will stop the stain from setting so that they can be easily removed during the wash cycle.

The Stain Remover uses the natural power of oxygen bleach to deliver the job, making it really really great for dye based stains. For stains that are protein based; like blood and oil - try our Oil, Body and Grease Stain Remover.

What it Smells Like

The Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater contains a Nature Identical scent: Sun Vite.

The smell of the stain remover overall is quite perceptible for two reasons.

The leading notes of this scent are; Basil, Tea Tree, Orange and Lemongrass. All scents that are quite good at cutting through bad odours.

Oxygen bleach does have a smell. It's the active ingredient in the product. Historically the smell of this ingredient was masked by layers of synthetic scents, but we don't think this is necessary, as it's a wash on wash off product. We have just enough scent to make your experience with Stain Remover a pleasant one.

Sun Vite contains the following essential oils: Orange Oil, Basil Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Lime Oil, Mandarin Oil, Tea tree Oil.

FAQs

How long will the Food and Drink Stain Remover Spot Stain Treater Refill last?

It really just depends on how often you use it, but each refill pack contains about 150 stain treatments.

Because the product contains oxygen bleach which loses performance over time, our advice would be to aim to use the product within 6-12 months of purchase.
Can I buy the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater in Bulk?

We don't intend to create a bulk sized refill pack because the ingredients in our Spot Stain Treater are sensitive to exposure to air, so we have designed the packaging size to limit the amount of air exposure which protects performance.
Which stains will the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater work best on?

The Food and Drink Spot Stain Remover will work best on dye based stains; such as berries, watermelon, ice poles, tea, etc. This is due to the combination of oxi-action bleach and surfactants.

Stains that are protein based; like blood or collar sweat, will best be spot treated with our Oil, Body and Grease Stain Remover, as they will respond best to enzymes - which cannot co-exist with oxygen bleach in a liquid base.
Can I use it as a post-wash treatment and dry it in the sun?

Sunlight is brilliant for lifting stubborn marks, but not when you’ve used this stain remover solution.

Because it contains oxygen bleach, the formula works by opening up the fibres and oxidising the stains. That is exactly what you want. But if you then put those open fibres in harsh UV, the sun can accelerate that oxidation past the good point. Push it too far and you risk fibre damage and a yellow cast.

So: use the treatment, rinse it out properly, then let the sun do its thing. Just don’t combine the two at once.
What happens if I leave the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater on for more than 30 minutes?

On many fabrics, nothing will happen.

But on others, where the dye wasn’t properly set or where a lot of optical brighteners were used in manufacturing, the stain remover can start working past the stain and into the dye itself. Because the formula contains oxygen bleach, leaving it on too long can also lead to over-oxidation. When that happens, the fibres can start to shift towards a yellow tint.

Thirty minutes is a conservative window that keeps your fabric safe while giving the formula time to do its job. Think of it as a good general rule.

After that, blot the fabric with water to lift the solution, or pop it straight into the wash.
Can I use this on all fabrics?

The Food and Drink Spot stain treater cannot be used on fabrics that say "do not bleach". You'll typically find these labels on the inside left of your clothes.

The labels generally exist on delicate fabrics; like wools and silks, and fabrics that have not been through a thorough 'dye setting' process.

If in doubt, we would recommend you patch test, by spraying a small amount of the stain solution onto an inconspicuous part of the fabric, and wait 30 minutes to check that everything is okay first.
Are the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater Refills part of the Refill Return program?

Absolutely, yes. All our refills are collected for reuse.
