Can I use Stain Remover on carpets, rugs, or lounges?Updated 8 days ago
TL;DR: Stain Remover is for laundry use only. It must be rinsed out in a full wash cycle, so it is not suitable for direct use on carpets, rugs, or lounges. For spot cleaning, use Sensitive Laundry Liquid in a spot cleaner or wet vac, or pre-treat with Stain Remover before running the machine.
Why not Stain Remover on its own
The enzymes in Stain Remover are designed to be removed during a machine wash cycle. Soft furnishings can trap residue, which may lead to re-soiling, odour, or colour changes.
What to use instead
Spot cleaner or wet vac method
Add 1 pump (4 mL) of Sensitive Laundry Liquid per 1L of warm water in the machine tank.
Run the spot cleaner over the stained area as the manufacturer recommends.
Allow to dry fully.
For heavier stains: pre-treat first
For tougher stains, pre-spray Stain Remover directly onto the fabric and allow it to dwell briefly before running the spot cleaner. The machine rinse step replaces the need for a full wash cycle.
Sensitive Laundry Liquid contains enzymes such as protease, which help break down protein-based stains while being gentler than concentrated stain treatments.
Important
Do not use on wool or delicate fibres. Always spot test first in an inconspicuous area. Results may vary depending on fabric type and stain.
Five enzymes. Zero bleach.
Stain Remover lifts, breaks down, and banishes stains with enzyme power. Includes the Foaming Spray Bottle for targeted application.
Be gentle on what matters
Sensitive Laundry Liquid is tough on stains, gentle on skin, and works in spot cleaners at just 1 pump per tank.
