Fabrics to avoid
Do not use Stain Remover on wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca, rayon/viscose, or linen. These fibres can be sensitive to enzymes and may weaken, fuzz, or lose colour when treated.
Safe-use checklist
Read the garment care label. Apply to a hidden seam, wait 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse and check. Treat stains as soon as they happen and avoid letting them dry. After pre-treating, wash as normal and rinse well.
If used by mistake
Rinse the area immediately with cool water.
Handwash gently with a mild detergent suitable for delicates.
Avoid heat until you are sure the fabric looks and feels normal.
