How to Use OhSo Bright Stain Away to Remove Tough Laundry Stains

Tough stains on school uniforms, shirt collars, cuffs, workwear and everyday clothing often need extra attention before washing.

OhSo Bright Stain Away is a concentrated laundry stain remover paste developed to pre-treat stubborn marks before putting clothes into the washing machine or washing by hand.

Unlike an ordinary laundry detergent added to wash water, Stain Away is applied directly to the affected area. This allows the cleaning ingredients to work on the stain before the normal washing cycle begins.

For best results, follow these five simple steps.

How to Remove Tough Stains With OhSo Bright Stain Away

Step 1: Wet the Stained Area

Wet the stained section of fabric thoroughly with clean water.

This helps the Stain Away paste spread across the affected area and makes it easier to work into the fibres.

Step 2: Apply Stain Away Directly to the Stain

Apply OhSo Bright Stain Away directly from the tube, covering the entire stained area.

Pay particular attention to:

• Shirt collars and cuffs.

• School uniform stains.

• Grease and oily marks.

• Food stains.

• Dirt on workwear.

• Heavily soiled fabric.

Use enough paste to cover the stain without unnecessarily saturating the surrounding fabric.

Step 3: Rub Gently Into the Fabric

Rub Stain Away gently into the stained area with your fingers or by lightly rubbing the fabric together.

This helps distribute the product through the affected fibres.

For heavier stains, work the product into both sides of the fabric where appropriate.

Avoid aggressive scrubbing, especially on delicate fabrics.

Step 4: Leave for Approximately 20 Minutes

Allow Stain Away to remain on the stain for approximately 20 minutes before washing.

This gives the pre-treatment formula time to act on dirt, grease and stubborn marks.

Do not allow the paste to dry completely on the garment.

For best results, treat the stain promptly and keep the affected area moist during the pre-treatment period.

Step 5: Wash Normally

After pre-treatment, wash the garment according to its care label using your usual laundry detergent.

For a complete laundry routine, use OhSo Bright 3-in-1 Concentrated Laundry Detergent Paste.

OhSo Bright Laundry Paste helps clean, brighten and soften clothes during washing, while Stain Away provides targeted pre-treatment for stubborn marks.

Check the stained area before drying. Repeat the treatment if necessary.

What Types of Laundry Stains Can Stain Away Help Remove?

OhSo Bright Stain Away is designed for everyday laundry stains requiring additional treatment before washing.

Grease and Oil Stains

Cooking oil, greasy food and everyday oily marks can be difficult to remove during a normal wash.

Apply Stain Away directly to the affected area, rub gently and allow approximately 20 minutes of contact time before washing.

Food Stains

Food spills on shirts, school uniforms and everyday clothing often leave visible marks.

Treat the affected area with Stain Away as soon as practical, before the stain becomes more difficult to remove.

Dirty Shirt Collars and Cuffs

Collars and cuffs collect perspiration, skin oils and everyday dirt.

Applying Stain Away directly to these areas before washing provides targeted cleaning where normal washing needs extra support.

School Uniform Stains

School shirts, trousers and other uniform items often develop stains from food, dirt and daily activities.

Stain Away is a practical pre-treatment product for washable school uniforms, subject to fabric care instructions and colourfastness testing.

Workwear and Heavily Soiled Clothing

Work clothing often develops stubborn marks from dirt, grease and daily use.

Pre-treat visible stains with Stain Away before the normal washing cycle for additional cleaning action.

Tips for Better Laundry Stain Removal

Follow these practical steps to improve your stain-removal routine:

1. Treat stains as soon as practical.

2. Check the garment care label before applying stain remover.

3. Test Stain Away on an inconspicuous area for colourfastness.

4. Apply the paste directly to the affected area.

5. Allow approximately 20 minutes of pre-treatment time.

6. Do not allow the product to dry completely on the fabric.

7. Wash and rinse the garment thoroughly.

8. Check the stain before tumble drying or ironing.

9. Repeat treatment where necessary.

Stain removal results depend on the type of stain, fabric, stain age and previous washing or drying.

Why Use Stain Away Before Washing?

Some stains require targeted treatment because ordinary washing does not always remove deeply embedded dirt, oils or stubborn marks.

Pre-treatment applies cleaning ingredients directly where they are needed.

OhSo Bright Stain Away offers:

• Direct application from a convenient tube.

• Targeted treatment for collars, cuffs and visible stains.

• A 20-minute pre-treatment routine.

• Compatibility with normal hand or machine washing afterwards.

• A complementary product to OhSo Bright Laundry Paste.

Use Stain Away With OhSo Bright Laundry Paste

For a complete laundry routine, combine two OhSo Bright products.

Step 1: Pre-Treat

Apply OhSo Bright Stain Away directly to stubborn marks and leave for approximately 20 minutes.

Step 2: Wash

Use OhSo Bright 3-in-1 Laundry Detergent Paste for the normal wash.

For a standard 3kg to 4kg laundry load, the recommended dosage is 20g of Laundry Paste.

The two products have different purposes. Stain Away targets stubborn marks before washing, while Laundry Paste cleans, brightens and softens the full load.
