How should I use it around kids and pets?
Skin sensitivities differ from person to person, and animals differ too, so it's worth watching how your own household responds the first few times you use it. If someone at home has a known sensitivity, spot test on an internal seam and run the item through a full rinse before it goes back into use.
✓ Family and pet items
Use as directed on fabric stains, wait 5 to 10 minutes, then wash. Stain Remover suits baby bibs, pet beds, and washable kids' clothing. Once laundered and dried, treated fabrics are ready to use again.
⚠ Storage and handling
Keep away from food prep areas, pet bowls, and aquariums. Store sealed, upright, and out of reach of children and pets. If you have very sensitive skin, wear gloves when spraying or agitating stains.
⚠ Good to know
✓ Don't mix with bleach, ammonia, or other household cleaners
✓ Always follow garment care labels and your machine's instructions
✓ If swallowed or in eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if concerned
