Getting rid of stains should be as easy as making them.
Remove the excess stain causing material.
Check that the fabric is colorsafe*
Tip: For best performance especially on dry stain dampen the area.
Apply ESR Formula directly to affected area. Repeat steps or rub fabric together if necessary.
Tip: For delicate fabrics use a paper towel to control amount applied.
Launder as usual. For carpets and upholstery be careful to remove all residue.
Tip: Some stains (e.g ketchup) will come out in laundry.
Carry on enjoying doing what you love.
Until the next time....
Tip: Stock up and keep close to the action.
Stains are a pain but you don’t want the removal to be worse than the problem!
While our formula does not contain harsh oxidizing agents such as peroxide or chlorine, it does remove color "to bleach" and the key is to make sure it works on the stains and not the fabric.
If you read: "wash separately", "do not use bleach", "wash in cold water," "hand wash," or "turn inside out ", the dyes in these items are not colorfast. Any doubt we recommend (1) you do a colorfast test and (2) you fully rinse the formula out immediately after treatment so it not sit or react with the fabric.
We also contain water, so if label reads "dry clean only" or your fabric hates water (e.g silk or rayon) then proceed carefully. If you get a water stain then usual measures should remove.
If in doubt please review the Q&A or contact with customer service here
.
> Clothing made with rayon or acetate or silk listed as "dry clean only" is not recommended for The Hate Stains Co. product use.
> Surfaces that are porous, like marble or granite or wood, and that need special care may absorb the liquid and dull the surface.
We hear that customers have tried many different "home remedies" to try and treat stains in a pinch. Some use salt, vinegar, soda water, white wine, or a combination of some or all of the above to quickly treat red wine and common household stains.
Our experience shows that The Hate Stains Co. formula works much better than any of the mentioned quick fixes. Here are a couple articles/blogs that did some independent testing Bustle.com and WineWankers.com
The Hate Stains Co. formula is incredibly effective on a variety of stains:
> Wine
Blot wet stain of excess liquid or moisten dry/old stains with water, apply The Hate Stains Co. product and then launder as usual or rinse away soapy residue.
> Berries, pomegranate juice, and tomatoes
Like wine, these disappear on contact. Remove excess material, moisten with water, apply The Hate Stains Co. product, and then launder as usual.
> Blood, Grass, Lipstick and Mascara
These also quickly disappear, though they need a little rubbing. Remove excess material, moisten with water, apply The Hate Stains Co. product, then use some rubbing to lift the stain and dissolve the color causing particles. Then, launder as usual.
> Beet Juice, Carbon, Tea and Grape Juice(yes it is odd that grape juice is different from wine but we tested it!)
These types of stains do come out with The Hate Stains Co. product, but not on contact. Remove excess material, moisten with water, apply product, and then launder for a great post wash result.
