Frequently Asked Questions
What are pre-treatments and how do they work?
Pre-treatments are specialised cleaners applied directly to stains before washing. They penetrate fibres to loosen dirt, grease, and colours, making your regular detergent far more effective during the laundry cycle.
Are these safe for coloured clothes?
Yes, most of our pre-treatments are colour-safe and suitable for delicates. Always check the label and test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with your fabrics.
How long should I leave pre-treatment on a stain?
Typically 5-10 minutes is enough for fresh stains, or up to an hour for set-in marks. Avoid drying the garment until the stain is gone to prevent it setting further.
Can I use pre-treatments on food stains?
Absolutely—they excel on food-related stains like tomato sauce, wine, or oil. Rub gently into the spot for best results, especially useful around mealtimes.
