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 Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater 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

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

Does the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater Bottle come full?

Yes it does. It's pre-filled with 20ml of product in glass, or 30ml in plastic.
Do I spray it on, and just leave it on?

You spray the stain solution on and leave it for about 30 minutes. If the stain will instantly fade (berries, wine ect), you'll notice that it has already started to work.

After 30 minutes, blot the stain remover solution off, just with a wet piece of cloth / tissue.

This will just remove the risk of any interaction between the fabric dye and the stain remover.

Which stains will the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater work on?

The 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 laundry detergent, 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 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?

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.

Can I purchase this in a plastic bottle?

Yes! By popular demand, we’ve introduced the option for plastic Carry On bottles. They’re lighter in your suitcase, smash-proof and hold 30ml (up from 20ml), so you get more uses per trip. And just like the glass originals, they are designed to be refilled and reused, over and over again.

We get it, stain removal is complicated.
