Can Stain Remover cause colour change on fabric?Updated 12 days ago

Stain Remover is bleach-free and contains no chlorine bleach, oxygen bleach, or optical brighteners. The formula is classified as colour-safe on properly dyed fabrics. Some fabrics can still experience colour change after treatment, usually due to colour loss from the fabric itself rather than bleaching caused by the product. Fabric dyes vary widely. Colour change is more likely if the dye was not fully fixed during manufacturing, if the fabric is highly dyed, dark, or brightly coloured, or if the garment already had wear, fading, or heat exposure.

Spot-test on an inside seam where the fabric is layered at the stitching, before treating a visible area. Follow the garment care label and never treat a "dry clean only" garment at home. Don't leave Stain Remover on longer than directed (5 to 15 minutes). Rinse and wash thoroughly after treatment, and don't let the product dry on the fabric.

Apply a small amount of Stain Remover to a hidden seam or inside hem. Wait 5 to 10 minutes, then blot with a white cloth. If you see dye transfer onto the cloth, the fabric isn't colourfast and you should not treat the visible area. Rinse the test area, let it dry, and check against the rest of the garment. If the colour and texture look unchanged, you're good to treat the stain.
