Why is my Stain Remover too runny or too thick?Updated 4 hours ago
TL;DR: If Stain Remover feels too runny or too thick, it's usually temperature related. Bring the bottle back to room temperature and shake gently to restore consistency.

Why does it happen?
✓ Temperature changes consistency
Xanthan gum in the Stain Remover formula gets thinner in heat and more gel-like in cold. Storage or delivery temperature swings can change how the spray feels without affecting performance. The enzymes and surfactants are unchanged either way.
How do I fix it?
✓ Quick fix in 3 steps
Leave the bottle at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
Shake gently to re-mix.
Test Foaming Spray Bottle. A fine, foamy spray is ideal for pre-treating.
Where should I store it?
✓ Ideal storage
✓ Sealed and upright
✓ Cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
✓ Stable room temperature between 15 and 25°C
✓ Inside the house rather than in garages or sheds
⚠ Places to avoid
! Hot cars in summer
! Sunny windowsills
! Unheated sheds or outdoor storage
! Above or near heaters, ovens, or dryers
