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 - a spot of the laundry detergent will suffice.

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

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

It really just depends on how often you use it, but each refill pack contains about 150 stain treatments; totalling 450 overall. On average, most people will repurchase after about 4-6 months.

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 have recently updated the size of the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater to 450ml in order to make it as economical as possible.

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 Treater 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.
Which stains won't the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater work on?

While nearly all stains will get a lift from use of the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater; some protein stains will respond better to a spot treat with the laundry detergent.

This is because the main stain removal ingredients in the Spot Stain treater are; oxygen bleach and surfactants (which break down colour based molecules like sythetic and natural food dye and lift them away).

The main stain removal ingredients in the Laundry Detergents are enzymes and surfactants (which break down oil and protein stains like blood and grease spills, and lift them away).

Fun fact: Oxygen bleach and enzymes cannot exist in the same liquid formula, as the bleach will kill the enzymes. They can however co-exist in powder form, as the molecules are not 'activated' - so if you're after a low key washing solution, Powder Booster might be your go to.
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 setting process was incomplete, or a lot of optical brightener was added through the manufacturing process, the stain remover will start to work beyond the surface stain and into the dye itself.

30 minutes is a conservative window of time to leave your product on; it will keep your fabric safe while allowing time for the stain remover to work. It's a good, general rule.

After this period of time, we'd recommend blotting the fabric with water to lift the stain solution, or turning on the washing machine.
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.
Are the Food and Drink Spot Stain Treater Refill Packs part of the Refill Return program?

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