To use, Suitable for most fabrics, remove residue then rinse with cold water, and massage into fabric with a dry or damp cloth, and agitate with a brush for deep stains.

Tips for Removing Stubborn Stains

If no joy, then also consider using natural oxygen bleach.

Grass stains. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, work it into stain with a soft-bristled brush. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse, then wash as normal. For stubborn grass, add a sprinkle of baking soda before scrubbing. This method breaks down chlorophyll.
Blood Stains. Act fast and use cold water (heat can set the stain). Soak the area, then dab with salt or baking soda paste (just enough water to make it spreadable). Let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing. If the stain’s old, soak in natural oxygen bleach overnight.
Red Wine Stains. Blot up as much as possible right away. Pour sparkling water over the stain and blot again. Cover with a thick layer of salt (keep pets away) and leave it for an hour. Brush off the salt, then wash.
Oil Stains. For stains from kitchen oil (including salad dressing), sprinkle dry cornflour or bicarbonate of soda directly on the fresh oil spot. Leave for 30 minutes, then brush away and dab the area with diluted washing-up liquid (mix with water) before washing.
Make-up Stains. Rub a little coconut oil or olive oil, leave for 5 minutes, then blot with a dry cloth. Next, treat the area with a gentle soap and rinse well. If needed, repeat until the fabric comes clean, avoiding scrubbing that can spread the mark.
Body Sweat and Deodorant Stains. Mix two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda and lemon juice (keep pets away) into a thick paste. Spread on the stain and leave for 30 minutes. Wash as normal
