Will Stain Remover affect clothing colour?Updated 3 hours ago

TL;DR: Stain Remover is bleach-free, but some fabrics can still experience colour change depending on how the dye was applied during manufacturing.

Stain Remover does not contain chlorine or oxygen bleach. It uses enzymes and surfactants to help lift stains, which is why it’s labelled colour-safe.

Why can colour change still happen?

In some cases, lighter patches or fading can appear after treatment. This is usually due to colour loss from the fabric itself, rather than bleaching caused by the product.

Fabric dyes vary widely, and some are less stable than others. Colour change is more likely if:

• The dye was not fully fixed during garment manufacturing
• The fabric is highly dyed, dark, or brightly coloured
• The garment already had wear, fading, or heat exposure

How to reduce the risk

• Always spot-test on an inconspicuous area first. We recommend testing along an inside seam where the fabric is layered at the stitching.
• Follow the garment care label carefully
• Do not leave the product on longer than directed
• Avoid use on delicate or non-colourfast fabrics
