Will Stain Remover affect clothing colour?Updated 8 days 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. Always spot test first.
Stain Remover does not contain chlorine or oxygen bleach. It uses enzymes and surfactants to help lift stains, which is why it is labelled colour-safe.
Why colour change can still happen
Colour loss from the fabric
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.
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. Test 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.
Five enzymes. Zero bleach.
